Anna Benson: "I'm getting more interested in baseball right now just because we're on a good team. The thought of winning makes me hot."
The NYC Media are licking their chops more than anyone, I'd bet. She'll never shut up, and at some point she's going to say something to someone that's going to piss off a lot of people. Stay tuned. The long boring summer might have a distraction in it somewheres.

Tatoos are classy! No, wait, I'm wrong on that.

Dancing on a pole one night, toast of the town the next. Sort of a stripper cinderella with tatoos.

I look forward to lots of shots during games of Anna Benson and Pedro's little friend Norman sitting together in the stands.

I'd be more interested if they tracked down the father of her first child and gave him a reality show.

usfbull, I'm guessing that someone's on that trail as we speak.

Well ... I think she's pretty hot. Of course, I still have a thing for Anna Nicole, too.

It is amazing this woman gets attention. She offers nothing. She has no talent, she creates nothing, she's not even that hot (she thinks she looks like Angelina Jolie LMAO)and in no way contributes except as a leech on her husband's arm. Who would give a damn about what she has to say if she wasn't married to a ballplayer. Talk about calculating. Give this marriage about 3 months after his career ends and then she will try to hook up with some Hollywood actor or Rock Star to keep her name in the papers. She should enjoy her 15 minutes as only 12 min left.

Sex sells! Talent has nothing to do with it. I disagree with that statement: one assumes you could demand higher compensation based on ability. Look at that whore Clemens.

She's managed to translate an interview on Howard Stern into a mini-media machine. Unfortuantely that machine needs fuel, so I would like to see some nekkid pics before the end of the year. Let's go people, money doesn't make itself.

God bless her. I hope they're both happy all the days of their lives, together or not.

Maybe she was gold-digging when she met the guy, but at the time he was only a first round draft pick of the Pirates making the league minimum. She could've been hooking up with a draft bust who bounces around the minors for years and has to start a new career at the bottom when he's 30. It wasn't until five years later that he signed his first big million-dollar contract, a $3.45 million deal. By that time, they had kids together, so no one should begrudge them sharing the loot. I think Anna Benson's funny -- there aren't many wives of athletes who would describe themselves as a "tough broad" and talk about being a former stripper and a brawler. How many people would say this about their first three years of marraige -- "we wanted each other to die"? The world needs more hot sports wives who combine that kind of unpretentiousness with, and I'm trying to say this delicately, Sams Wholesale Club-sized cans.

Stupid no talent ignorant redneck brawling strippers with fake big cans who want their spouse dead and their millionaire ballplayer husbands on the next jerry Springer show... only in America - Don King

After actually reading the interview, I was impressed with Anna. Sure, she's hot, but she also speaks her mind and doesn't pretend to be some steelbellied airhead (bonus points to anyone who can name the authorial inspiration for that phrase) or Junior League prissy. I think most of her bad rap is coming from men and women who still believe a woman's place is in the kitchen.

If she's a gold digger, she ought to sleep with Peter Gammons: his puff pieces over the past 5 years have probably doubled Benson's salaries.

she ought to sleep with Peter Gammons You know how Gammons starts spittling all over himself when he gets excited about some deal going down? "My sources say Nen *spittle* will be looking for *spittle* an extension..." Yeah, that's the image I got. Thanks.

For some odd reason, I found myself looking at the pictures rather than reading the article...
