If all goes according to plan, the Philadelphia Phillies could have the most formidable players’ wives section in all of baseball. The staff itself might be lackluster, but the wives? Stellar.
Those are the hopes and dreams of many an ogling fan this spring based on yesterday’s masterful pitching performance by Rule 5 draft attendee Travis Blackley. The ex-Giant pitched three scoreless innings, striking out two and picking off one, as the Phillies opened up Grapefruit League action by shellacking the Cincinnati Reds 8-1.
More important, if Blackley continues to pitch like this, the Phillies will have no choice but to sign him, which would mean his buxom, clothes-shedding wife, Arynne Tiller Blackley (top left; modesty courtesy of Larry Platt egg heads), will help twirl cotton candy at Phillies Wives’ charity events with the likes of Cole Hamels’s wife, Survivor temptress Heidi Strobel (right), and headline-grabbing strumpet Anna Benson this season.
Goosebumps … in your pants.
