Donald Driver hosted a charity softball game to benefit the Donald Driver Foundation for the fifth consecutive year on Sunday, and the attendance at the event indicates exactly how much Green Bay Packers fans support the long-time Packers receiver. A crowd of 8,745 fans packed Fox Cities Stadium just outside of Appleton to watch the game, that featured appearances by other Packers, including Aaron Rodgers, as well as his Dancing With The Stars partner Peta Murgatroyd.

The defense won last year's edition of the game, but Driver and Rodgers were having none of that this year. Both recorded home runs in the offense's 22-10 victory. Of course, the score doesn't matter; the whole point is for Driver to raise money for his charity that benefits homeless people and underprivileged children in both Wisconsin and Texas.

Driver's charity softball game not only featured a lot of home runs and a lot of money raised for a great cause, but some crazy people! Here's a woman yanking Driver's cleats away from another fan.
