New Reality Star Anna Benson Says The Mets Were "Scared Of My Big Fun Bags"

Anna Benson, the buxom brunette who has long had the distinction of being more famous than her husband, a former journeyman Major League pitcher named Kris, is going to star in VH1's new reality series, "Baseball Wives," according to the New York Post.

The Post couldn't resist asking Mrs. Benson her take on why her husband was traded from the Mets to the Orioles after 2005. The trade followed Kris's lone full year in New York, when he posted a WHIP of 1.262 and a WAR of 1.0, while earning $5.3 million.

"They were scared of my big fun bags," she insists. "They were afraid they were too big, and they were going to obstruct the view of the fans seeing the game. Plus they were intimidated by them themselves. So they had to trade him, I guess."

"I don't know why you would trade a stud pitcher. I don't know why it became about me. But it kind of makes me feel good that they were intimidated by me."

Also, Mrs. Benson wants to make one thing clear about "Baseball Wives."

"We are not like the ‘Basketball Wives,' " Benson, a former stripper, tells The Post. "We are classy."

You know what would be a fun bag? A tied gunny sack, with her in it, tossed over the side of a ship.

Will the show feature any political or cultural pontification? I'm highly interested in her views on matters of national and international import.

What's the point? Like you wouldn't be distracted by her fun bags?

The new Baseball Wives are: Anna Benson (wife of retired Arizona Diamondbacks’ Pitcher Kris Benson), Tanya Grace (ex-wife of retired Chicago Cubs’ First Baseman Mark Grace), Chantel Kendall (ex-wife of Kansas City Royals’ Jason Kendall), Brook Villone (wife of Ron Villone) and Jordana Lenz (linked to no particular athlete in particular). Don't know who's who other than Anna in the middle.


Anna, 35, goes on to describe the clASSy manner in which she met her husband. According to Anna, she met Kris in 1998 while dancing at Atlanta club Mardi Gras.


When it comes to her classy costars, Anna explains there will definitely be some fireworks as she admits she is already feuding with one of them. “It definitely will come out, which one I like the least,” she teases. “We can just name her ‘skank.’ Actually, ‘skank possum!’ ”

The blonde one with the classy tattoo snaking around her thigh and most likely ending with an arrow pointing to her crotch is a man.

Would it be terribly surprising if I said that Ms. Lenz was apparently Nyjer Morgan-associated?

I gotta say, those are some scary looking women.

Jordana Lenz looks like a serial killer. She's got those dead eyes that convey an utter lack of remorse for her crimes against humanity.

The thing is, a real show about baseball wives --- not one that's just another pretext for rich women to catfight --- could make for interesting television.

Re: She's Back.

It's on TMZ so you know it's true.

"Baseball Wives" -- a new show debuting tonight on VH1 -- is in meltdown mode, because one of the women is so out of control, she's threatening other BB wives with a 12-inch dildo.

During a recent filming, Anna Benson -- the wife of former Mets pitcher Kris Benson -- got into it with Cheri Knoblauch -- wife of former Yankee second baseman Chuck Knoblauch. Anna got creative, pulled out a stun gun and set it on a table in front of her in a threatening manner, then produced a 12-inch dildo from her purse and started swinging ... which raises the question, Why such a big purse?

Sources connected with the show tell TMZ ... some of the staffers are now threatening to quit, because they can't handle Anna's insane behavior.

Sources tell us ... show execs are trying to contain Anna.

Fixed it for you --

Sources connected with the show tell TMZ ... some of the staffers were persuaded for publicity purposes to say that they are now threatening to quit, because they can't handle Anna's insane behavior [and that the] show execs want everyone to believe they are trying to contain Anna.

Re: She's Back.

I gave the first ten minutes a whirl. Now I'm not a reality show guy anyway so I wasn't likely to be impressed going in ... but this was unwatchably bad shit.

The intro introduced all the girls building up to Anna's entrance who was, not surprisingly, the last one introduced and is clearly the producer's designated star/queen bitch. All the girls were on pins and needles waiting to meet this Anna monster they had heard about but didn't know first-hand.
But Anna's aged a bit and has put on a few to boot. And the others either weren't that great looking to begin with, or they looked unhealthy (too thin), or they were all tatted-up, or they were simply skanky.
I then quickly lost track of who everybody was; the conversations were so bleeped-out that I couldn't follow that either; and they were trying to set the stage for personality clashes and promises of future fur-flying but I bailed long before it ever got there (assuming it did).

Re: She's Back.

reality shows aren't my thing, and any doubt I had that this was another version of JErsey Shore/real housewives was dashed by the retweeting of some of the stories.

And it's pretty clear she's just saying things, as usual, to be controversial. So shallow it's boring (although these shows keep cropping up, so I guess i'm in the minority)

Caught a little while the pasta boiled (Wednesday is a slow winter-TV night if you're not enamored of those ABC comedies).

Not only have age and trans fats taken away the impact of her finest characteristics as a human, but her voice is ravaged and utterly frightening, sounding a little like a tranny Sam Elliott, or a postcoital, smoking Bea Arthur trying to scare children.

Check out Bobby Valentine, Omar Minaya, and Anna Benson all returning to the limelight (but not the Mets) at the same time.

It's like the family reuniting at the holdiays.
