Trophy brides are getting more sophisticated, which is a scary development if you think about it. I blame all those “Real Housewives” TV programs for showing normal succubi how to maximize their potential. No longer are they content to score the ring and dally about their inherited mansions and villas, spending money they didn’t earn. No, now they’re demanding their own money and their own means of earning it. Those means are where the sophistication lie. Take Red Sox owner John Henry, 59, and his newlywed wife Linda Pizzuti, 30, for example.

New York Met Pat Misch made his MLB debut in 2006, but hasn’t been able to prove effective enough to throw 125 innings yet in his career.
