I wonder if KC is ready for Mrs. Benson...
DESPERATE HOUSEWIFE: Rivalling Karen Burnett for the title of Most Talked About Wife at these meetings is the steaming mad spouse of New York Mets pitcher Kris Benson. Amid reports the Mets were looking to deal her husband to Baltimore just one season into a four-year deal, Anna Benson blasted the team and said the move was in retaliation for her musing aloud about posing nude for Playboy magazine.
But even more interesting than Anna Benson's non-clothing issues — she once posed for Penthouse and threatened last season to sleep with the entire Mets squad if her husband ever cheated on her — was her take on patriotism and former Jays slugger Carlos Delgado, now with the Mets.
"How are they going to sit there and say it's so controversial," she told the New York Daily News of her pondered Playboy shoot, "when they sign someone like Delgado, who turns his back on our flag?
"Playboy is all-American. Everyone from Marilyn Monroe to Cindy Crawford has posed. They didn't turn their back on the flag."
Neither did Delgado, of course. If Benson could put her thinking cap on for five minutes — along with the rest of her clothes — she'd realize Delgado not standing for God Bless America was merely exercising his right to free-speech. Just as she now clamours, in a much louder voice by the way, for her right to earn money peddling what seem to be her finest attributes.
