National Baseball Hall of Fame names new president

On Monday afternoon, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum announced Josh Rawitch will become the next president of the institution. Rawitch will begin as president on Sept. 9 — the day following this year’s induction ceremony.

Rawitch, 44, has spent the last decade with the Arizona Diamondbacks, serving as the team’s Senior Vice President of Content and Communications for the past six years. Before Arizona, Rawtich spent 15 years as part of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ front office.

Former president Jeff Idelson has been serving as the interim president since Tim Mead announced he was stepping down from the role in April.
