Husband: 2005 World Series Champion, Dodgers outfielder Scott Podsednik
Claim to Fame: 1998 Playboy Playmate of the Month
Likelihood of Starting Drama: Medium
If she spent anytime hanging around the Playboy mansion then she’s going to be used to drama and other women who cause drama. so maybe she knows how to elude any problems and be a peacemaker. Then again, maybe she likes to start it up.
Either way, she’s a pretty good lookin’ woman and a perfect candidate for the show. Just look at her.
Husband: 2002 AL MVP, Padres shortstop Miguel Tejada
Claim to Fame: Music career (available on iTunes!)
Likelihood of Starting Drama: High
Perhaps mrs. Tejada has watched enough of these housewives/reality shows to know that the more noise you make, and the more trouble you cause, the more your name gets in the press.
It wasn’t true when her husband made off-the-field news with steroid rumors, but if you’re trying to get your music career off the ground, then no news is bad news.
Husband: Rangers catcher Matt Treanor
Claim to Fame: Won two Olympic Gold medals (2004, 2008) for beach volleyball
Likelihood of Starting Drama: Minimal
There’s always got to be a peace-maker on these reality shows and because mrs. Traenor knows how to be a team player and gets along well with others (at least her volleyball partner Kerri Walsh) she’s a good fit.
And since she’s a jock herself she should provide a nice contrast to the stereotypical baseball wife.
Husband: 2008 World Series MVP Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels
Claim to Fame: Survivor: the Amazon contestant
Likelihood of Starting Drama: Very High
As the only reality show veteran on Baseball Wives, Hamels (back on Survivor, she was still Heidi Strobel) she would have a major advantage. she could play all the mindless mind games that are famous on these types of shows and create alliances and play both sides….if she wanted to.
Plus, she would be one of the younger members of the show, which would instill a lot of jealousy in her fellow cast members.
Husband: (retired) Mets pitcher Kris Benson
Claim to Fame: Talking to the new York media
Likelihood of Starting Drama: Extremely High
Although her husband has been out of baseball for several years, Anna Benson is the perfect candidate for Baseball Wives. If only the show had existed during her husband’s tenure with the Mets, then perhaps it would have given her a better outlet to promote herself and she wouldn’t have aggravated the Mets front office so much.
There’s no way her antics and “outspoken-ness” don’t aggrevate her fellow baseball wives, which would also make for some entertaining television. Just imagine what would happen if one of the other wives brought up her husband’s 70-75 career record.
Boyfriend: 2003 World Series champion, pitcher Brad Penny
Claim to Fame: International Dancing Champion, Contestant, Dancing with the Stars
Likelihood of Starting Drama: Medium
Because there are judges and the audience at home votes, DWTS isn’t really a “reality show” in the same way that Survivor. so there won’t be the type of back-stabbing and alliance-forming that Heidi Hamels is adept at.
But Smirnoff is still used to being on stage and on camera so that accounts for something. Plus, maybe she learned about causing drama from her most recent DWTS partner, “The Situation.”
And since she has yet to win DWTS, she might be hungry for more face time, which she can get by causing ruckus on Baseball Wives.
Husband: (retired) 20-game winner former Minnesota Twin, Scott Erickson
Claim to Fame: 2003 sideline reporter for ABC’s Monday Night Football
Likelihood of Starting Drama: Medium
She is to fairly big star, having had the sideline gig on MNF, a spot on Inside Edition, a nude spread in Playboy, among other appearances. Plus her husband was “kind of a big deal back” in the early 1990s.
Maybe she’d feel like she’s hotter and better than some of the other WAGs which would certainly lead to some interesting confrontations.
Husband: Houston Astros pitcher Casey Daigle
Claim to Fame: Won 2004 Olympic Gold medals in softball
Likelihood of Starting Drama: Minimal
Don’t we all think of Jennie Finch as the all-American girl next door? Kind of a tomboy, but still really hot.
She wouldn’t get involved in all the nonsense that goes on during reality television. but she’s still a great fit for this show. She’s so much more famous than her husband that that would have to become a major factor in the show.
Furthermore, she’s really, really hot.
Fiancee: Five-time World Series Winner, Yankee Shortstop Derek Jeter
Claim to Fame: Television actress, Friday Night Lights; Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive
Likelihood of Starting Drama: Minimal
As far as actively starting drama, Kelly would be unlikely to do so. but as the “sexiest woman alive,” it’s a safe bet that some of her castmates would take offense to being slighted.
And don’t think the producers would avoid comparing the future wife of an all-time Yankee legend like Jeter, to the wife (Marilynn Monroe) of another Yankee legend, Joe DiMaggio. especially considering are/were actresses.
Boyfriend: Dodgers Gold Glove centerfielder Matt Kemp
Claim to Fame: Multiple Grammy-winning singer
Likelihood of Starting Drama: Medium
If jealousy does actually lead to a lot of the drama and fighting on reality television, then Rihanna is a safe bet to be the cause of plenty of behind-the-back hatred.
She’s obviously supremely talented and beautiful and can name-drop better than anyone on the show. so if she actually would appear on Baseball Wives (which she wouldn’t) you’d always get the sense that she’s too good for the show and, for the most part, too good for the rest of the cast.
She doesn’t need a reality show to be a superstar. she already is one.
