Less than one year ago, Mark Kotsay’s wife Jamie was still a mystery, a legendarily hot baseball wife whose pictures were so rare that her hotness remained largely unknown and unworshipped. But UmpBump.com changed all that last spring when we used our insane ninja skills to bring you the largest collection of Jamie Kotsay pictures ever assembled in one place.

But now we are upping the ante.

That’s right, thanks to a source who wishes to remain anonymous, we now present to you a collection of scans from Jamie Kotsay’s modeling days which have never before been seen anywhere on the internets. Ever. Until now!

Is Jamie Kotsay really the hottest baseball wife of them all? Decide for yourself:

Bigfoot. The Loch Ness Monster. The Yeti. A Devil Rays fan.

Yes, the world is full of myths and legends about shadowy, elusive, one-of-a-kind creatures who may or may not even exist.

But now you can cross Jamie Kotsay off that list, for we here at umpbump can attest to the fact that she does exist and pretty much everything that has been said about her is true.

It has been well documented that many famous athletes, and baseball players in particular, often have scorching hot wives. But what has been harder to prove was the contention that Mark Kotsay just may have the hottest wife of them all…

You see, it all started back in the late 1990s when Mark Kotsay first made it to The Show. At each city Mark played in, fans of that team would begin to report sightings of his incredibly, unbelievably, scorching hot wife. They said her name was “Jamie.” They claimed that this one time, at the fan convention, they caught a brief glimpse of her between a gap in the crowd, but when they got closer she had vanished. Or that this other time, at this one game, in the 6th inning, she flashed briefly on the jumbotron screen to make a public service announcement or something.

And pretty much everyone agreed she was the hottest baseball wife they had ever seen.

But the problem was, try as everyone might, nobody could find a picture of her! The claims could not be corroborated! Soon message boards with thousands of threads grew up around her legend. Search engines were bombarded with her name. Cults grew up around the fervent belief that she really did exist, and that she really was the hottest wife in the game. And still no picture could be found!

But then finally, last summer, this shot appeared on an Athletics blog!

For a long time, this picture was the only picture of Jamie Kotsay making the rounds on the blogs, but it certainly went a long way toward substantiating the myth! With the letters K–SA- clearly visible, it was almost certainly her, and the picture certainly lent itself to an interpretation of potential hotness of great magnitude. But while this view definitely had its merits, all true Jamie Kotsay sleuths knew in their heart of hearts that in the end a view from the front would be required to truly assess Jamie’s ranking in the pantheon of hot wives.

That’s were we come in. Finally, this spring, we here at umpbump decided enough was enough and agreed to take up this difficult case, if only for the good of science.

Although we certainly did not have either the time nor the inclination to read through the voluminous discussion boards dedicated to Jamie Kotsay’s legend, we did happen to have secret knowledge of some ancient ninja web-searching techniques, so we put it to good use compiling what we believe is the largest single collection of verified Jamie Kotsay pictures on the internet.

Judge for yourself if the legends are true after the jump…
