Cast

Anna Benson

Wife of retired New York Mets pitcher Kris Benson
Former FHM model Anna cemented her "bad girl" status when she told Howard Stern on the air that if her husband Kris decided to cheat on her, she'd sleep with everyone on her hubby's team, from the owner down to the batboy. Anna is a straight shooter whose frank opinions on a variety of topics raise eyebrows and ire everywhere. A cross between Angelina Jolie and Bill O'Reilly, she has an unapologetic stance on everything from guns to furs (pro on both counts) and beyond.

Erika Monroe Williams

Wife of retired Arizona Diamondbacks 3B Matt Williams
Erika is used to ruling the roost, with power afforded to her in the community of baseball wives as the spouse of one of its most successful players. The former news anchor's 20,000 square foot home is the perfect place for the top echelon of baseball royalty to socialize. In addition to her three stepkids with husband Matt, her daughter Madison is the apple of her eye. The admitted control freak is a fixture in the Scottsdale area society circles, and she still has strong ties to baseball with her husband currently the third-base coach for Arizona.

Chantel Kendall

Ex-wife of Kansas City Royals catcher Jason Kendall
A survivor of a fluctuating cycle of wealth and poverty, Chantel has seen it all. She and ex-husband Jason Kendall only recently ended their marriage after a prolonged battle to sort it all out. Prior to meeting her ex-husband, Chantel's relationships were complicated to say the least. But through it all, she has been a devoted mother and her charming personality and good humor make her a favorite of many other big-league wives. She is now a confidante to many baseball wives, having seen the good, bad, and ugly the lifestyle has to offer.

Tanya Grace

Ex-wife of retired Chicago Cubs 1B Mark Grace
The eminently likeable Tanya loves to party and is an avid golfer. Tanya was a golf cart girl when she met and married famed baseball player Mark Grace, with whom she had two kids. While she still harbors feelings for Mark, she's single and is looking to find love again elsewhere. Tanya dreams of launching a tee shirt line bearing her own unique slogans, like "I'm Diggin' Your Chili", "Just Pullin' Your Peach", and "Douchepickles". Will her sometimes head-scratching homegrown phrases catch on?

Brooke Villone

Wife of retired Washington Nationals relief pitcher Ron Villone
This self-made success started modeling in her teens and was on her own by the age of 18. She says she doesn't let anything get in her way, despite other women and wives constantly being "capital-J Jealous" of her natural beauty. How committed is this professional model to staying svelte? Brooke lost her "baby fat" after having her first child in mere weeks thanks to her strict adherence to a daily workout schedule.

Jordana Lenz

Dated Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Nyjer Morgan
This little bundle of dynamite is a no-frills, partying bartender who got her fill of baseball drama while dating Morgan. After enduring drinks in the face, girls showing up at her apartment, and relentless portrayals in blogs as a golddigger, she saw her romance with the lifestyle undone when she was dumped and the other wives turned their backs on her after the split. She's excited to be single and dating again, and she already is fielding advances by a number of players.
