Ohio State football loses staffer to SEC school
Pettito came to Ohio State as a key recruiting support staffer last season after working for eight years under Nick Saban at Alabama. Not only did he win a College Football Playoff national championship ring for the memorable title run last year for the Buckeyes, but he also won some hardware in 2017 and 2020 in Tuscaloosa.

A Louisiana native, it's a chance to return home to work for head coach Brian Kelly. He had previous stops at Georgia, North Carolina, Grambling State, and Southeastern Louisiana.
For General Manager of Player Personnel Mark Pantoni, it is, unfortunately, a similar situation. He has had to replace the same post four straight years and must now try to keep the recruiting machine running by hiring another qualified candidate. As any news on that front becomes available, we'll be on top of it.

Chipper Jones gives his take on whether or not he'd ever manage a MLB team
Chipper Jones led the Futures National team to a win on Saturday. His winning lineup card was signed, sealed, and sent to Cooperstown, adding more impressive moments to his Hall of Fame career. Channel 2's Alison Mastrangelo asked Jones if he would ever consider managing a Major League Baseball team one day. Advertisement Jones had fun with the answer. 'I've still got three boys at home, so seven boys in total. So, you have to be completely committed to be a coach or a manager and I just don't know that I can serve the spot as well as I should. Besides, I keep asking myself, 'Why would any general manager want to hire me for a fireable spot? You know, for a fireable job?' Like, would you want to have to be the general manager that has to fire me? That's a bad PR move if you're asking me,' he laughed. Atlanta Braves fans will be able to cheer on two current players during All-Star Week. Matt Olson will participate in the Home Run Derby on Monday, and Ronald Acuña Jr. will play in the All-Star Game on Tuesday.

Fans flock to Truist Park for 2025 MLB Draft
Sunday night, Major League Baseball took over the Coca-Cola Roxy across from Truist Park for the 2025 MLB Draft, as future stars were selected. As each pick came in, excitement grew in The Battery, where a draft watch party was held for fans on the plaza. Advertisement A handful of fans were allowed to attend the draft in person, and many, like Brock Slocumb, showed up hours in advance. 'We were like, 'Let's get in line about two hours early' because it's all general admission, so it's first come, first served,' Slocumb told Channel 2's Brittany Kleinpeter. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Just in front of Slocumb in line was Michael Jagger and his family. 'We've been here since 2:30. We just wanted to make sure we were the first in line so that maybe we could get a better seat,' said Jagger. For fans who weren't able to snag those coveted seats, some, like Davis and Drew Javaley, camped outside the Roxy hoping to spot a few familiar faces. Advertisement 'People we've grown up watching, so it's cool to finally see them in person,' said Davis. The night brought fans together for a moment that many don't often get to experience so intimately. On Monday, the Home Run Derby gets underway at 8 p.m., with gates set to open at 5 p.m. TRENDING STORIES: [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
