Jeter named SI Sportsman of the Year

Jeter's selection caps another outstanding season for the 35-year-old team captain and future Hall of Famer. In 2009 he batted .334 while leading the Yankees to their fifth World Series title in his 14 full seasons, their first since 2000 and their record 27th in franchise history. On Sept. 11 he passed Lou Gehrig's franchise mark for base hits, which now stands at 2,747. In 2009 Jeter led the American League by reaching base 289 times, finished second in the league in hits (212), third in batting average and on-base percentage (.406), fourth in runs (107) and eighth in stolen bases (30). He was named an All-Star for the 10th time, including the sixth time as a starter, while winning his fourth AL Silver Slugger as the best hitting shortstop in the league and his fourth Gold Glove as the league's top defensive shortstop.Read more: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/magazine/specials/sportsman/2009/11/25/derek.jeter/index.html?xid=FanHouse#ixzz0YNhlklSM

Gold Sluggers !

Derek Jeter the New York Yankees Captain and the shortstop of the Yankees has won both the gold glove and the silver slugger award. And his counterpart at first base Mark Teixeira has won both the Gold Glove and the Silver Slugger as well. Coincidentally both these players are in contention for MVP. I wonder who will it come down to DJ or Tex.

Yanks win the World Series!

The New York Yankees have defeated the defending champs Philidelphia Phillies. Therefore they are now the new champs of Major League Baseball. Ledaing the majors with the best record coming into the playoffs and spending approximately $441 million dollars during the offseason on new free agents. The Yanks were expected too win a championship and they did just that along the way proving all haters wrong the Yanks are still the best tean of all time winning number 27 world championship. Congrats Yankees on your prestigous award!
