11/30: Derek Jeter Named Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year for 2009
Sports Illustrated has named Derek Jeter as their Sportsman of the Year for 2009. It's been a pretty good year for the captain.
Update: The
AP has his reaction:
"It's unbelievable. It was completely unexpected. It came out of the blue," Jeter told The Associated Press during a break in the photo shoot. "When I heard it, what can you say? It's one of the greatest honors you can achieve in sports."
He's the first Yankee to pick up the honor.
