Jeter Wins Sportsman of the Year


It was leaked last week by Gawker that Jeter was going to win the award, and today it was made official. Jeter has been named as the 56th Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year, and the issue will hit newsstands this Wednesday.
Said Sports Illustrated Group Editor Terry McDonell, "Derek Jeter has always presented himself with class; he does numerous good works for the community with his Turn 2 Foundation, which is one of the most efficient, effective foundations of its kind; and he's extremely generous with not just his money but with his time, which in many cases is more valuable. He also had another signature year on the field."
Congrats to The Captain.
