Greatness!!!

Every year Sports Illustrated picks an athlete as "Sportsman of the Year." This publication happens every December and many, many greats have been recognized for it including Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Muhammed Ali. Never has a Yankee been chosen, and we know how many greats have gone through that clubhouse.....until this year! That's right, Derek Jeter has been named Sports Illustrated's 2009 Sportsman of the year!! WOO-HOO!! Go Jeter! In a year where he has received many awards, and even his FIFTH World Series Championship, Jeter is recognized for his class act both on and off the field. I will let the article speak for itself.

Sports Illustrated's 2009 Sportsman of the Year: Derek Jeter

Congratulations Jeter! You know I will be buying just a few copies tomorrow...... :P



I knew I saw greatness in you back in April of 1996. Now at age 35, you are still at the top of your game, making milestones, and filling your fingers with rings as one of the most valuable players on the Yankees roster. Hard work is making your 30's even better than your 20's! Congrats!!
