MLB Rewind The Captain Derek Jeter rose to No 1 on the top 10 favorite male athletes list in 2011 the same year Serena Williams earned the honor for the 4th time

By mariorjf Modified 19 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Derek Jeter topped the favorite male athletes back in 2011, when tennis star Serena Williams earned the accolade for the fourth time Derek Jeter topped the Harris Poll of favorite male athletes in 2011. He surpassed Tiger Woods and Kobe Bryant, who had tied for first the previous year. Jeter first made the top 10 in 2004 and rose as high as second place in 2007. However, after reaching 3,000 hits in 2011, Jeter rocketed to the top position, ahead of NFL legend Peyton Manning. On the women's side, Serena Williams continued her dominant run for the fourth time after previous wins in 2010, 2009 and 2007. Derek Jeter only finished first in the East. Baby boomers (ages 47 to 65) voted for him in droves. Overall, he secured enough votes to rank ahead of Manning. Since 2004, Jeter has ranked in the Top 10 every year for the nationwide public opinion sports survey.
