Yankees captian Derek Jeter has been named the Sports Illustrated "Sportsman of the Year." He is the first Yankee to ever win the award and it comes on the heels of him also winning the 2009 Hank Aaron Award and 2009 Roberto Clementa Award. He also won another Gold Glove, a Silver Slugger Award and a fifth Word Series ring. And of course, he also broke the Yankees all-time hits record this season and batted .344 in the postseason and .407 in the World Series. Here's a link to just one of the many stories hitting the newswires today about the SI Award:

Very proud of "Son." Great player and it seems he's also just a good guy. Raising $10 million for charity is nothing to sneeze at. This man deserves all of the good things that have come his way. I read his book. He gives all the credit for his success in life to his parents.
