Who's the ballsy star?Very brave to be diving onto the pitch like this.

Yes, this is definitely what you'd call taking one for the team.

But which actress has gone all sporty and donned this protective gear?

Well, she's been kitted out in head to toe pink and fluff before, so this is a very different departure.

Remove that sporting gear Reese Witherspoon, and explain yourself.

At first we wondered if Reese and her boyf, Jake Gyllenhaal, had decided to start a new hobby together.

But that's not the case at all.

Reese is at a softball training session in LA.

It's all in the name of her next project, an as yet unnamed movie, directed by James L Brooks (As Good As It Gets), which will also star Owen Wilson.

To be honest, as far as we're concerned, Reese has scored already by catching Jake's eye.

However, we'd like to think we're good sports, so go and take a look at Reese and other stars sweating it in style.
