Getting your player ready...
This is one of those stories that makes you shake your head in disbelief — first, that it happened, and second, that you didn’t get in on it in time. Seems former Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova put herself — well, a date with her, anyway — up for auction at a charity tennis tournament. The winning bid was $10,000. Lobbing up the awkwardness quotient is the fact that Sharapova’s boyfriend apparently got outbid for the date. Sharapova took in $26 million last year. That means that for her, a $10,000 bid is the equivalent of getting taken out for a McDonald’s Extra Value Meal. Yahoo! Sports
