Jeter

As he just won his fifth World Series ring, had an MVP-caliber "fuck you h8ers" season which included passing the Iron Horse for the Yankees hits record and is banging Minka Kelly, SI making him the 2009 Sportsman of the Year probably makes this the perfect time to remember that Derek Jeter's days as a New York Yankee are numbered, so we should take a moment to step back and realize we are presently watching the career of one of baseball's all-time players.

Of course, I also like this guy's idea of Eunice Kennedy Shriver being given the honor posthumously. But then, I guess she'll still be around next year.
