ESPN president George Bodenheimer is the fourth-most-powerful person in
sports, according to The Sporting News.
New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner was No. 1 in the annual
rankings.
ESPN's young vice president of programming, Mark Shapiro, was one of the
biggest surprises, as he was ranked No. 14. That put him higher on the list than
people like Tiger Woods (No. 25) and NBC Sports chairman Dick Ebersol (No.
33).
