Josh Rawitch is a Los Angeles native who grew up playing baseball and idolizing the Los Angeles Dodgers. He attended Indiana University thinking he would be the next Vin Scully and instead became Scully's "boss" during his 15 years working for the Dodgers rising to Vice President of Communications. Rawitch also spent a decade working for the Arizona Diamondbacks ss Senior Vice President of Content and Communications before he was named President of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in September of 2021. As just the 8th president in the 85 years of the Hall, Rawitch recently took part in his 3rd induction ceremony in Cooperstown, NY where the Class of 2024 included former Dodger Adrian Beltre'. He tells us what makes the Hall so special and remembers moments around the game's greats like Johnny Bench. We hear about some of the Hall's exhibits including a new exhibit coming next July highlighting the Japanese influence on the national pastime. Rawitch also tells us how the Hall decides what new items to collect such as a Shohei Ohtani bat and Paul Skenes' All Star Game hat. Along with his love of baseball, Rawitch also tells us about his infatuation with the Dave Matthews Band which he's seen more than 70 times in concert.
