Brian Wilson, an MLB player for the San Francisco Giants, hosted a party in the Hollywood hills last night.

The fete was attended by a host of celebrities, including Lindsay Lohan, who arrived decked out in a black lace dress and black thigh-high boots,

Leonardo DiCaprio, Kevin Connolly and Jayde Nicole.
The previous night, Wilson's teammate, Barry Zito, hosted his own Christmas shindig at the Hyatt hotel on Fisherman's Wharf, according to MLB.com.

However, the party wasn't all about holiday excess, all of the proceeds went towards Zito's foundation Strikeouts For Troops, which seeks to provide comfort to wounded troops who are in military hospitals around the country. Zito started the foundation in 2005.

Though there were a few MLB players in attendance, the majority of partygoers were Zito's fans. The crowd was treated to the pitcher's karaoke rendition of "White Wedding" before he posed for pictures with his admirers.

"The fact that the fans can come out and watch us hang out like regular dudes, sing bad karaoke -- that's cool stuff right there," Zito told the website.
