On Monday, Sports Illustrated revealed the 2014 Sportsman of the Year in a video featuring former winners of the award, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Terry Bradshaw, Bonnie Blair, and 2013 winner Peyton Manning, among others.

The winner was announced as San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner, who led the Giants to their third World Championship in five seasons after an historic Postseason.

He’s a worthy winner, and I can’t immediately think of someone more deserving. Maybe someone like Adam Silver, even though he’s not an athlete? Regardless, Bumgarner is a worthy winner of the award, and is the first baseball player to win since Derek Jeter in 2009.
