Derek JeterYes, he might be a member of the New York Yankees, but that doesn’t mean Derek Jeter isn’t one of the standup guys in professional sports. You already know all the clichés when it comes to Jeter’s play on the field, but “The Captain,” swings for the fences in his philanthropy work.

Charles Jeter, is the President and runs the day-to-day operations.(AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez)
