Last weekend, Elton John hosted the 16th Annual Advanta World Team Tennis Smash Hits to benefit people with AIDS in the greater Atlanta area. I’m a huge tennis fan and now a bigger fan of Andy Roddick, who raffled an hour of naked tennis instruction to help raise money. He initially offered to do it shirtless, but soon raised the stakes. In the end, the winning bid was $15,000.
While naked tennis sounds a little awkward, i think it’s pretty great that the recently engaged Roddick went so far to raise money for a good cause. Personally, I’d rather play tennis in my underpants and then get to watch Roddick shower after.
While Roddick is a fine specimen, this got me thinking about what athletes I’d like see naked and came up with the following list:
1. Sue Bird. She’s totally jacked. I’m a huge basketball fan and have marveled over her arms for year. I’m sure the rest is just as spectacular.
2. David Beckham. He’s obviously gorgeous, but I’m including him simply because we’ve already seen so much. It only seems fair to check out the goods at this point.
3. Shaq. Ok, I don’t really want to see Shaq naked, but the whole curiosity factor is enough to get him included here. Dude’s 7″1′. My real NBA pick would be Corey Maggette, because I suspect his body is perfect.
In closing, I’d like to apologize to M for stealing her sports beat. In an effort to make it up to her, I’d like to suggest readers check out her review of Switch Hitters and say “Go Phillies!”

hmmm. I think I might go for Dara Torres. Total MILF if I ever saw one.
It’s okay. I’ll just steal your librarian beat.
My list includes Chase Utley, Reggie Bush aaaand George Clooney. He was in Leatherheads. That counts, right?
Torres – good one.
Bush – agreed.
Utley – maybe when I was 12. I don’t get the appeal. Every lady swoons when he comes up to bat, but he just doesn’t do it for me.
