Via the Daily News -
Fresh from A radio interview in Spanish with 97.9 FM Tuesday morning, Laura Posada breezes along 56th St., into the lobby of the midtown Chambers Hotel, causing plenty of whiplash among the sidewalk traffic. Sporting heels, a short summer dress and a new Anna Wintour-style coif, the wife of the veteran Yankees catcher and the mother of two is making the publicity rounds for her reality TV debut, set to air tonight on the E! network.
“In the beginning, I was a little apprehensive. I wasn’t sure if it’s something I should do or not,” says Posada. “But then (the E! producers) explained what they were trying to do, which is really show what it is, for real, to be a baseball wife.”
Baseball fans and curiosity seekers who tune into “True Hollywood Story: Baseball Wives” tonight at 10 p.m. and expect to find scandals galore in the lives of the Posadas or the Hamelses (pitcher Cole Hamels of the Phillies and wife, Heidi) or other baseball families, might be surprised.
“People think that just because you’re married to a baseball player, that you’re dumb, that you’re a gold digger, that you’re an ex-stripper,” says Laura. “That’s not the way it is. I still haven’t met that one girl. Most of the girls that I know, that are baseball wives, are super sweet girls. They’re successful in their own right. I really hope that after people see this show, they realize that there’s a lot more than just what people think baseball wives are.”
Question: Would we even care about Laura if she wasn’t married to Jorge Posada and/or if she didn’t have huge implants and goods look in body paint?
Then again, they didn’t have fake fun bags and Sports Illustrated eye-candy editions back in the day of Eleanor Grace Twitchell Gehrig…so, who knows if this is just some form of era-adjusted baseball wife performance?

Laura Posada is f’in gorgeous. Would we “know” about her if she wasn’t married to JoPo? Probably not, but we do know about her…and have the pleasure of getting to look at her on TV tonight

I don’t think the Anna Benson comp really works, the only thing they had in common are that they’re married to ballplayers.
IIRC, Mrs Posada’s a personal trainer, right? I first remember hearing of her back when the youngest Posada was born with some type of birth defect.

For the record, we can’t compare L-Po to Anna Benson yet. Anna was a wacko and went public on saying she’d sleep with all of Kris’ teammates if he cheated on her. L-Po is simply cashing in on a chance to be on tv, and can we blame her?

All I can do is wish her the best in her endeavors like I would with anyone. She has an opportunity to do something for herself and make a statement for other MLB wives so again, I wish her the best!!

FYI, I recently had an exchange with someone who has access to the Yankee organization regarding this topic and they shared this with me:
Laura Posada is absolutely one of the nicest people I met in baseball and she is one of the sweetest, most genuine baseball wives I know. She’s also very bright. She was a lawyer in Puerto Rico when she and Jorge met, and both her siblings have prominent jobs. One is a well-known surgeon.
Just thought I would share this opinion, now that I know, just to be fair here.
