Jeter wins SI Sportsman Award
Not many players could've dreamt of a better season then the one New York Yankees short stop Derek Jeter had. Not only did he win the World Series but also multiple awards like the Hank Aaron Award, Gold Glove Award, Silver Slugger Award, Roberto Clemente Award, and now Derek Jeter has also become the first New York Yankee to win the SI Sportsman of the year Award.
The SI Sportsman of the year Award has been given to the top deserving athlete in any sport since 1954. It's hard to believe since the award has been handed out that there has not been a single Yankee player to ever win the award. When you factor in the 11 World Series Titles they have won since that time, also the great players like Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Thurman Munson, Reggie Jackson, and Don Mattingly it's a remarkable accomplishment for the 35-year-old Jeter.
For Jeter and many others the award came as shock considering the other athletes up for the award like LA Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, Swimmings Michael Phelps, or Nascar rising superstar Jimmy Johnson. For an athlete winning the Sportsman Award is probably the best honor you could ever achieve as an athlete, not only are you considered the best in your particular sport the best in any sport.
Even though Jeter didn't win the AL MVP Award this year it's his leadership on and off the field along with his charitable work that set him apart from all the other candidates. Jeter finished this season with a batting average of .344, 18hrs, 66 RBI's, and 30steals, his charity Turn 2 Foundation has also given out over $10 million in grants to help kids stay away from drugs and alcohol since 1996.
