Ask anyone to offer a Top Ten of the Most Influential People in Sports History, and the question is bound to generate hours of conversation and controversy. First of all, let’s define influential. For our purposes, we defined influential as the impact someone’s legacy has on our history, popular culture and the way sports interacts with our everyday lives.
We set no limits. The list could include athletes, broadcasters, journalists, owners, agents, lawyers, anyone. The list could include Secretariat or Steve Bartman for Cub fans who wish to extend the agony.
Our poll went out to the Senior Staff of HOFMAG.com. Thirteen of the most decorated journalists in the United States participated, including Robert Lipsyte, Lesley Visser, Robert Creamer, Juan Williams, Jim Huber, Larry Felser, Ann Ligouri, Charley Steiner, Joe Mc Donnell and Armen Keteyian.

That idea of readership vote on a top ten is a great idea. I second it.
