Anna Benson
impromptu press conference follows Mets game
 Sultry Anna Benson,
the wife of former Mets pitcher Kris Benson, held an
impromptu press conference this past weekend, after
her hubby's new team beat New York 4-2.
"I am actually feeling
generous," she said. "I was going to offer to send a
case of K-Y Jelly down to the Mets' clubhouse. For
as many guys that are prepared to use it. Give me a
number."
Anthony McCarren of The New York Daily News
wrote: It
couldn't have been a better return to Shea for Kris
Benson if his wife had scripted it herself. And
saucy Anna Benson, part of the reason her husband
was shipped out of town last winter, relished it
while watching from behind home plate before
launching into one of her trademark rants.
With Met fans booing Benson and mocking him with
shouts such as "Let's go, Anna," the ex-Met survived
a shaky first inning and showed his former teammates
he may have been able to help this season after all.
Benson not only threw eight strong innings last
night, but slugged his first career homer - off
Pedro Martinez, no less - in the Orioles' 4-2
victory in front of 52,320.

Anna also clipped Shea,
comparing it unfavorably with
her hubby's new baseball digs,
Camden Yards. She said she was
out "puffing a cigarette" when
Kris homered. "My
brother-in-law, Kris' younger
brother, came out screaming in
my face that he hit a home run,"
she said. "Who would have
thought it? I sat there the
whole game and the only time he
hits a home run, I am out
there."
When he was traded,
there were whispers that Mets management wanted to
distance itself from his wife, Anna Benson,
especially after she appeared at a children's
charity function in a low-cut Mrs. Santa Claus
outfit and once threatened to sleep with all of her
husband's teammates if he ever committed adultery.
When he was traded - after he publicly let it be
known he wanted to stay in New York - Anna Benson on
her Web site accused Mets GM Omar Minaya of trying
to "Latinize" the Mets.
Meanwhile, the New
York Mets are enjoying their best season in years.
At press time June 21, 2006 they were listed with 9
to 4 odds of winning the National League pennant and
5 to 1 odds of winning the 2006 World Series.
