Wow - can you imagine if Sonya Sosa had this type of commitment? Oh, wait, Anna was talking about cheating on their marriage...not in general.

MET WIFE: I'M A TEAM PLAYER

December 1, 2004 -- ANNA Benson, the former model and stripper who is married to Mets pitcher Kris Benson, vowed yesterday that if she ever catches her husband cheating, she'll have sex with all his teammates.

The buxom brunette, proclaimed "Baseball's Hottest Wife" by FHM magazine, said on Howard Stern's nationally syndicated radio show:

"I told him [Kris] — because that's the biggest thing in athletics, they cheat all the time — I told him, cheat on me all you want. If you get caught, I'm going to s- - -w everybody on your entire team — coaches, trainers, players. I would do everybody on his whole team."

"Mike Piazza just did a back flip," Stern said, egging her on. "Even the coaches? What about, like, the bat boys?"

"Everybody would get a turn," Anna pledged. "If my husband cheated on me and embarrassed me like that, I will embarrass him more than he could ever imagine."

Even Robin Quivers got in on it: "What about groundskeepers?"

"If I'm lining them up," Anna said, "I'll [also] circle into other teams. Whatever team he's playing, I will s- - -w all them too."

Stern asked: "What if your husband, the great pitcher, comes to you and says, 'Honey, I need two women at the same time. I need you to do that for me?' "

Anna replied, "You know, if that's what he came to me and said that he needed, then that's what he would get, because he is my entire universe. I adore my husband. He's a saint . . . he took me out of hell" — a reference to her years on her own.

She added that she and Benson are so into each other, they've had sex in many of the stadiums where he's pitched, including PNC Park and Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh.

"We're very busy because we have three children," she said. "You know what, whenever we get the time to do it, we do it. If it happens to be there, that's where we do it.

"I take total care of him," Anna continued, taking credit for the negotiations for Benson's most recent contract that guarantees him $22.5 million over three years, with an option for 2008 that would push the total package to $29.5 million.

"I helped with negotiations . . . I went back and forth a lot with that. He didn't even have anything to do with that. I did that deal . . . I laid out a lot of the terms."

Wow, Im speachless..... I honestly cant think of a single reply to that :blink:

Note to self...resume mailed to Shea stadium. Check.

Wow, and she even negotiates the terms of his contract. What a keeper.

From today's 10 Spot at SI.com:

3. Now that Pedro Martinez and his balky shoulder are with the Mets, 10 Spot reader Matt of Hoboken, N.J., raises an interesting question. Anna Benson, the wife of Mets pitcher Kris Benson, recently said that she'd sleep with everyone in the Mets organization if she discovered that Kris had cheated on her. Matt asks whether that group would extend to Nelson de la Rosa, Pedro's 28-inch tall good-luck charm.


Will Martinez be taking his little buddy to New York?

I'm guessing no at this point. :D

Who's your dwarf?

Pedro's humble hombre opts
for free agency after snub

BY JOSE MARTINEZ
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER


Then-Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez celebrates with erstwhile pal Nelson de la Rosa.

Pedro Martinez has got a wee bit of explaining to do.
A big snub by the Mets' new ace toward his little sidekick has left 28-inch-tall Nelson de la Rosa steaming-mad - and vowing to stick with the Boston Red Sox rather than turn into a Mini-Met.

"He broke my heart," de la Rosa told the Daily News yesterday. "That's not right what he said about me."

At his introductory press conference last week, Martinez laughed off the Dominican dwarf's role as a good-luck charm during Boston's curse-breaking World Series run, saying, "That was just a trick."

Then he really set off his little buddy by scooping up a midget who showed up to blast de la Rosa as a "palm-sized pipsqueak."

"That little guy just wants to be famous," said de la Rosa, 37, who once starred in a movie alongside Hollywood heavyweight Marlon Brando. "Well, I'm already famous."

Martinez and de la Rosa have not spoken since they rode on a float together during the Red Sox victory parade.

While de la Rosa keeps snapshots of him with his much larger amigo during happier times, he angrily huffs and waves his infant-sized hands at the mere mention of the hurler's name. "I wanted him to stay with Boston, but that's his decision," he said.

The unlikely pair met through a mutual friend at a Rhode Island restaurant, and de la Rosa became an instant hit in the rowdy Red Sox clubhouse. He went on the road for several games, including the Red Sox's American League Championship Series finale against the Yankees.

After games, de la Rosa, clad in a child's Red Sox getup, often appeared alongside Martinez, who would lift the dwarf over his head.

De la Rosa still wears his Red Sox turtleneck and a shiny silver chain inscribed "El Chiquito" (the Little One).

But while he has soured on Martinez, he suggested that, like the pitcher, he might test the free-agent market. "I'm not going to the Mets unless some other Dominican ballplayer makes me an offer," he said. "And if the Yankees call me, I'll go with them."

Wherever he winds up, de la Rosa will keep his spot in the hearts of fellow Dominicans, who cheerfully recall his appearances on local television shows and how he used to dance in the streets of Santo Domingo for money. But they are most proud of seeing him make it big alongside a famous countryman.

"He's tiny in stature but big in fame," said Juan Antigua, a cabbie in Santo Domingo. "Pedro should take him to New York."

That's not likely to happen, de la Rosa said. He's spending baseball's off-season performing for "Amazing 2005," a Japanese television show, and greeting fans at the gas station where his sister-in-law works.

There, he is treated like royalty, with Red Sox fans coming up to shake his tiny hand and to pose for pictures with "El Gran Nelson."

While Martinez is now vilified in Red Sox Nation, the mini-mascot remains an idol among Boston fans.

"I'm the one and only," de la Rosa said. "I'm still Nelson, and that's from the heart."

Since we're not getting rid of Sammy, maybe Sosa would hire him? :P

BENSON'S WIFE MAY HOST REALITY SHOW

The New York Post
By ANDREW MARCHAND

Anna Benson, wife of Mets' pitcher Kris Benson, is in discussions to do a reality series on VH-1, NYP TV Sports has learned.

While both Anna's agent and a VH-1 spokesperson confirmed the talks, no deal is finalized yet. The agent said other networks are interested, but wouldn't divulge which ones.

Anna recently produced some headlines by going on the Howard Stern show and saying that if Kris were to cheat on her she would sleep with Met players and team officials. These and other outrageous comments have garnered her attention that may now lead to her own show.

Her agent, Jon Orlando, thinks that her words sometimes overshadow her charitable actions.

"She almost sees herself as Howard Stern with Oprah's heart," said the agent.

Orlando, who is the son of singer Tony Orlando, said filming would likely start in Port St. Lucie at the beginning of spring training. He said Kris would be involved, but that the show would not be a distraction.

"Anna would never do anything that would interfere with Kris, the Mets or major league baseball," Orlando said.

With Infinity owning Yankee rights, Michael Kay won't be able to do his new 4-to-7 p.m. 1050 ESPN Radio Show from inside Yankee Stadium, but he could do it outside.

"[Infinity] doesn't have ownership of the world," 1050-ESPN Radio program director Mike Thompson said.

Thompson is working out details on where the show might be located. He said he prefers for Kay and company to be where people can see them as opposed to the bowels of the Stadium, which is where "Mike & the Mad Dog'' operate when they do Bronx shows.

"There is no juice to it because nobody can see them," Thompson said.

With three months until opening day, Bob Lorenz, who is already at YES, is on the short list for Fred Hickman's old Yankee studio job, while WFAN's Sweeney Murti is being considered for Suzyn Waldman's former role as pre- and post-game host. If Murti were to get the gig, he would replace Waldman for a second time. He succeeded her as FAN's Yankee reporter. Waldman is in-line to become John Sterling's radio partner.

After being bounced from FSN's "The Best Damn Sports Show Period,'' former co-host Chris Rose hopes to do NFL play-by-play. While there may not be a spot on Fox's roster, he likely will get a chance to do some college hoops or football on FSN. He also will host FSN's poker series.

Rose got the boot when TBDSSP decided to switch formats again. Tom Arnold is now the main host with John Salley as a sidekick.

Hubby hurler cheated, sez sexpot Anna

Sexpot Anna Benson and her ex-Met hubby are headed for Splitsville after she caught him fooling around with one of her friends, the Daily News has learned.
The naughtiest wife in baseball filed for divorce yesterday from pitcher Kris Benson, who was traded in the off-season from the Mets to the Baltimore Orioles.

"She's completely crushed; she didn't see this coming," said Anna Benson's spokesman, Jules Feiler. "She had no choice but to take this action."

What's bad for Kris Benson could be good for new teammates Miguel Tejada, Melvin Mora and the rest of the O's.

Anna Benson once vowed to sleep with every one of her husband's teammates if she caught him in the sack with another woman.

"I told him, 'Cheat on me all you want.' If you get caught, I'm going to [have sex with] everybody on your entire team," she told Howard Stern on his radio show in 2004. "Everyone would get a turn."

But Anna Benson's spokesman warned the Orioles not to get their hopes up. "I think she was joking," Feiler said.

Anna Benson's lawyer filed the divorce papers yesterday in Atlanta, where the couple has a home.

The papers say the seven-year marriage is "irretrievably broken," and does not mention what a source called the X-rated real reason for the breakup.

"We chose not to go that route at this point," said Jeffrey Bogart, her lawyer.

She is demanding full custody of the couple's two children, alimony and a share of their property.

Kris Benson's agent said the pitcher had no comment.

The lurid split apparently ends one of the more entertaining unions in recent history in the national pastime.

Anna Benson was already making headlines - and dropping jaws - with a topless Penthouse spread when Kris Benson was a budding star in usually staid Pittsburgh.

She also revealed that the couple once had sex in a Pittsburgh stadium parking lot - while autograph-hungry fans waited just outside the tinted windows of their SUV.

Things really heated up when he was traded to the Mets in August 2004 and Anna tried to jump-start her career in entertainment.

The pinup babe pitched a TV reality show about her sexy frolics in the big leagues, but there were no takers.

A planned nude spread in Playboy never materialized, either, and Anna Benson blew her stack at Mets management for trying to trade her husband, saying they were worried about scandalous headlines.

Anna Benson even bared plenty of her famous cleavage at a kids' Christmas party last year when she dressed as a Mrs. Claus hot enough to melt the North Pole.


Kris and Anna Benson - speaking at January news conference after ex-Met was traded to Baltimore - are calling it quits.

Lucky Corey Patterson! :P Too bad for Sammy Sosa...

As if one Paris Hilton in the world wasn't bad enough.
