• The Chattanooga Lookouts this week promoted Harold Craw to assistant general manager. He had been the senior corporate sales executive of the Class AA professional baseball team. The Chattanooga native and Notre Dame High School graduate is entering his 14th year working in pro sports, according to a club release announcing his new position. He will continue to be in charge of corporate sponsorships and the sponsorship sales staff while directing the day-to-day facility operations at AT&T Field. "Harold has been with us for over two years and is a natural fit to help lead this team," Lookouts president and general manager Rich Mozingo said in the release. "We are fortunate to have someone on staff from the Chattanooga area with his wealth of knowledged and experience." Craw went to Emory & Henry College and then earned a master's degree in sport management from East Tennessee State in 2001. He became the director of stadium operations for the Johnson City Cardinals of the Appalachian League and then spent 10 years with the Charleston (S.C.) River Dogs. He was the South Atlantic League's sales executive of the year in 2008 and its community relations director of the year in 2009. He became general manager of the Quad Cities River Bandits in February 2013 but soon moved to his hometown team. "As good as Harold is as a baseball executive, he is an even better person," Mozingo said, "and we are excited to have him in this front office for years to come."
