“She” in this story is Anna Benson, the wife of Kris Benson. He announced his retirement from baseball this week, and the baseball world isn’t mourning its collective loss with Kris. On the contrary, folks are upset to be saying goodbye to Anna.
She was a stripper in Atlanta when she met Kris, and it was obviously a match made in heaven. The two have been married for more than 10 years, with Anna being named FHM’s “Hottest Baseball Wife” in 2004.
She became much more popular than Kris, who retired with a 70-75 record and 4.42 ERA in 206 appearances for the Pirates, Mets, Orioles, Rangers and Diamondbacks. He last pitched in Arizona in 2010, going 1-1 with a 5.14 ERA in three starts, making his final apperance on April 28.
His retirement has caused fans to start wondering about the fate of his wife. They may be hoping for a Brett Favre saga out of Kris over the next few years.
