30 With Murti Podcast: Innovative Baseball Exec Mark Shapiro

NEW YORK (WFAN) -- Before becoming the president of the Toronto Blue Jays last fall, Mark Shapiro spent nearly two decades with the Cleveland Indians, helping build American League pennant winners in 1995 and 1997. He came within one win of a third flag in 2007.

Shapiro is a different kind of second generation baseball man. His father, Ron, is an agent, and was one of the most powerful in the business during the early days of free agency.

In the latest edition of the "30 With Murti" podcast you will hear Mark Shapiro's story, hear his thoughts on leadership, and get an inside look at how he and the rest of the front office in Cleveland helped shape today's game.

If you missed any of our previous episodes, you can hear them here as well as on iTunes and Play.It.
