Sportsradio KJR 950 morning man Mitch Levy was named one of Seattle's 50 most influential people in a list compiled by Seattle Met, a community magazine. Along with Levy, the list includes state senators Ed Murray and Steve Litzow, newly elected Congresswoman Suzan Del Bene, and San Francisco Financier and potential NBA team owner Chris Hansen.
The magazine credited Levy to stirring up the issue of bringing the fences of Safeco Field closer to the plate, making easier for batter to hit home runs and allowing the team more pull with free agent signings.
Levy, who is originally from Florida, has been with the station for nearly 20 years.
