The 31-year-old baseball star Derek Jeter was awarded the 2009 Sports Illustrated ‘Sportsman of the Year’ award at the IAC Building in New York City this week. Derek said:
“I thought the cover came out nice. The only thing that I thought was missing from that were my parents on both sides. Even if you don’t see them, just know that they’re there beside me at all times. When you think about being a good sportsman, there’s a lot of things that come to mind. People tell you it’s success on the baseball field, and I think that’s part of it. I also think there’s a lot of qualities that go into it — hard work, dedication, pride, humility. These are all things that I learned at a very young age.”
Way to go Derek!!
It‘s quiet in here! Why not leave a response?
