Is Anna big fish in small pond?

Baltimore's got crabs, character, the Inner Harbor — and now Anna Benson to spice things up.
The sexy wife of ex-Met Kris Benson insists she won't tone down her act a bit when she leaves New York for a much smaller stage in a town the locals call "Bawlmer."
"Yes, I will continue my fun-loving antics in Baltimore," said Benson, a onetime pinup girl who was a comely Mrs. Claus at a recent Mets Christmas party for kids. "I am sexy and I won't shy away from that."
Benson earned plenty of ink in the media mecca of New York, but the verdict is split on how she'll make out now that her hubby's been traded to the Baltimore Orioles.
Baltimore does have its share of attractions — there's the spectacular aquarium, a done-up downtown and to-die-for diner food.
It's the home of Hollywood director John Waters, whose wacky characters with too much makeup haunt its row houses and crab houses.
And the Orioles' beautifully retro Camden Yards is a national attraction that puts Shea Stadium to shame.
But Baltimore's still a small town at heart.
"I don't know if the media is really going to take to her," said Rick Maese, a sportswriter with the Baltimore Sun who wrote a blog entry about the trade. "I don't know if they're going to pay much attention to her."
No attention? To Anna?
Them's fighting words to the outspoken beauty who's always looking to extend her stay in the spotlight.
Benson, 29, even promised to "christen" Camden Yards — Anna-speak for having sex in the parking lot of the stadium.
Orioles fan Brian Smith, for one, likes what he hears.
"I don't see anything wrong with that," said Smith, 32, a bartender at a spot a few blocks from the stadium. "I've dated a stripper or two myself.
