Sharapova will always be one of those personal eye-candy crushes and with the former tennis star showing on random trading cards, it rekindles some nostalgia I can objectify - even when the last time she was really in the news, was when she failed a drug test, so that is that I guess.
Forget Joe Mauer, forget Albert Pujols, forget Vladdy Guerrero - if I was starting a 'Dream Team' right now, tennis star Maria Sharapova would be at the top of my list.
I like the 1989 Topps K-Mart Dream Team because the pink background on the stripe where her name is implies a more a feminine quality to the card - the cards sort of have a tacky look to them with a 'Dream Team' heading and the K-Mart logo.
Still, it isn't exactly a mainstream card - which makes it sort of unique for the purpose of generating this fantasy rendition.
