Aug 20 (IBNS) Anna Benson, wife of Texas Rangers pitcher Kris Benson, has scored at last! She has been chosen the hottest baseball wife of 2009.

Heidi DeRosa, the hottest baseball wife of 2008 and the wife of St. Louis Cardinals infielder Mark DeRosa, finished 4th, preceded by Karen Burnett, wife of New York Yankees pitcher A.J. Burnett and Lisa Dergan, wife of Chicago White Sox outfielder Scott Podsednik.

Anna Benson (33) has posed her naughty bits for several men’s magazines, including FHM, Playboy and Maxim.

Anna, 33, was also named baseball’s hottest wife by FHM magazine in 2004, it was learnt.

Anna met Kris in 1997 and was married in October 1999. They have two daughters Alyssa and Haylee and a son P.J. In July 2005, she began playing at the 2005 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas under the nickname the “Gold Digger”. She outlasted 70 per cent of the overall playing field.

She continued generating additional controversy with her statement that Mets general manager Omar Minaya was “putting together an all-Latino team,” even though it had been brought up by other reporters before her comments were made public.

Both parties asserted that the trade was strictly a business decision but Benson also maintained she would not change her behavior in the future.

Benson has stated that she hates PETA, gun control organizations, and Michael Moore. An open letter to Moore can be found at her website.
