Each generation has its cultural touchstones, those moments when everyone remembers where they were, at that specific moment, from that second until the day that they die. Late at night, at a dinner party or social function, someone will mention the event, and the party will hush, and recollections will be shared with whispers, as quiet as possible, so as not to upset the delicate nature of such sacred memories.
This is one of those moments: According to her publicist, Anna Benson has filed for divorce from her husband, Baltimore Orioles pitcher Kris Benson. She says the marriage is "irrevocably broken."
You were there. Let's all share this moment. Let us never forget. Only with time will these wounds heal.

so, uh, she's available, right?
Maybe now she and Jenn Sterger will make a movie together.
guess she doesn't need an excuse now to sleep with the mets' batboy.
That's a shame, I thought they were so good together. Him being all normal and her being a drunk whore. How could that be irrevocably broken?
thank god, now we won't have to hear from her again until next season's FOX reality show...just a hunch
Former stripper gets divorced? I'm shocked, SHOCKED!
And right after "they" got traded.
I just walked in, picked up this week's issue of Sports Illustrated... where her name is on the COVER, as one of 20 people to watch in baseball... and then I turn on my computer, surf over here, and find this. Cover jinx, anybody?
An open letter to Ms. Anna Benson: Dear Madam, You do not know me, but we can change that. I am looking for a lady, just like you to call my own. Think of all the fun we can have, watching baseball and making fun of your ex-husband, just snugglin' in the couch. We can take long walks and spend all of his money. I love kids! We can take them to the park. Just consider it, and note: I will relocate anywhere. Call me. With Love, Cap'n Save-A-Ho
Here's what I don't understand: How does she make money now? That is, assuming Benson was smart enough to sign a pre-nup.
How can you continue to believe in romantic love when a bland, mediocre baseball player and a borderline insane ex-stripper can't make it work?
This sucks. I drafted Benson for my fantasy team with the specific hope that if he were to somehow wrong his wife, she would retaliate by sleeping with every fantasy baseball owner with Kris Benson on their roster. Now I have friggin' Kris Benson on my fantasy team.... Ugh.
Her box should be designated a Hot Zone and require a hazmat suit in order to gain access.
SHE filed for divorce?!
Wow, in the FHM interview that accompanied her photo shoot, she said that in "...ten years, we'll be divorced, but best friends, both having sex with much younger playthings..." (that is an approximate quote). I guess time flies when you're having fun. They also have a 14 year old daughter (gee Anna, how old were you when THAT happened?) that is supposedly blossoming very rapidly into Anna's body type.
In two weeks we'll find out that she's banging someone on the Orioles. My money is on Bruce Chen.
Did anyone else see this buried in the comments on MetsBlog? Pretty funny... http://www.annabenson.net/flash/golddigger.swf
Speaking of the FHM piece, in it she said if Kris won the Cy Young he could do anything he wanted to her and she specified (in her own words,) that meant "at least 50 times in the ass." Does this mean that offer is revoked? If so, I no longer support Benson for the Cy Young. Maybe he can still get 15 or 20 times in the ass in the divorce settlement.
Juancho-- that is sexy. j/k Anyway, I think this is sad. I liked Anna, and I thought the two of them were some sort of caucasian X-rated Ricky and Lucy. Now she's just another stripper, and he's just another medicore pitcher.
Does this mean I never have to hear from or about this ugly, no-talent white trash lady ever again? Please say yes.
If these two crazy dreambirds can't make it...I'm just disillusioned about the sanctity of marraige right now. I need a tissue.
Anna meet the future quarterback of my Chicago Bears, his name is Kyle and he too is a drunk, Kyle, meet Anna she is a stripper and she too likes to be drunk at 11:00am on a wednesday morning. A match made in heaven.
There goes Kris' invitation to the Oriole's team picnic.
I bet Miggy gave her a "B-12" injection
Gosh. Who's going to be his agent now?
what a crazy ass pirate hooker
In response to the question about how she will make money: My guess is that you'll see her in Playboy or Hustler by the All-Star break.
HERPES FOR EVERYONE! YAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!
Caveman, she ain't got the herpes. It's genital warts. Belive me, I know.
Is it a sign that I've been reading Deadspin too much that, when I read about this in a tiny article on the second page of the Washington Post's sports section, my immediate thought was, "Why isn't this above the fold on the cover?"
Actually met Kris Benson a couple times when I worked for the Pirates as an intern. Helluva nice guy. Never understood why he felt the need to marry a crazy stripper like her.
So I guess I'm the only one not buying this and thinking that it's all a publicity stunt? Or have I being reading too much Defamer?
How do the NY Mets get to decide who gets first crack? Or does this right transfer to the Orioles? I'm so confused.
Uncle Rico -- if you want to k now why he would marry a crazy stripper, I refer to to the sex in a car, the sex in every MLB parking lot, and every other sexual reference she has made in the last 2 years. That, my friend, is why you marry a stripper.
I just dropped Benson from my fantasy team... divorce can be ugly.
I'd hit it like a hanging Benson curveball...
Name-checked on PTI. Congrats.
PTI name-dropped Deadspin? Awesome. I need to stop working and watch PTI more often.
Not just name-checked. Name-checked by Tony like he does it on a weekly basis. Now that's props. PTI is a TiVo must.
Poor Anna...who'll care about her now?? Genital warts and all????? She's TWISTED. But that's how you men like em.
