Um... win the the most important award a baseball player can win, the World Series.
As well as Hank Aaron Award, Roberto Clemente Award, Silver Slugger Award, and Gold Glove Award.
Jerry Hairston Jr. won the World Series too, should he be Sportsman of the Year?
And notice all the other stuff you mentioned was a bunch of awards, chosen by the media who love Jeter. Hell, he was a top 3 MVP candidate to many.
