The outcry against Benson’s retirement is not for his return, but for the return of his attractive wife, Anna.
The outspoken and highly photographed wife of the former pitcher has been splashed across the pages of FHM over the years, as she was named “baseball’s hottest wife” in 2004. She was ranked among the magazine’s 100 Sexiest Women Alive in 2005 and 2006.
Whether any team would take Kris Benson back is another story, as the veteran starter bounced around four different organizations since 2006. Benson finished 2010 with a 1-1 record and 5.14 ERA in three starts for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Anna’s popularity quickly outshined that of her husband with her racy photo shoots, and the fans are now realizing what they’ll be missing since Kris Benson is out of the game.
