John Schuerholz is moving to another spot in the Atlanta Braves’ lineup. He’s been with the team since 1990, serving as president since 2007.

“Some people around here call me Obi-Wan Kenobi,” he said at a press conference Thursday. “They come down the corner to the office where I sit and if they want to know what wisdom I have about a particular issue, they’ll ask me.”
