Derek Sanderson Jeter is having a magical season once again. If you are surprised at this then you are not a true baseball fan. It is hard to believe that the Kalamazoo Kid has been in the big leagues for 17 seasons. Equally hard to believe is that Jeter has never won an MVP award! He has been selected in the top ten finisher 7 times ('99,'06 were his near misses at the award).
I can picture Derek's reaction to a reporter asking him "So Derek, you have accomplished everything under the sun in the MLB except winning the MVP award. How does that make you feel?"
We all know what Jeter's response would be, the only thing that matters to him....

P.S. I guess Bud Selig really downsized after the 90s and went with smaller Commissioners' Trophies!
