Major League Baseball history was made last night at Oracle Park in San Francisco as 31-year-old Giants assistant coach Alyssa Nakken became the first woman to coach on the field of a regular season game. WOW!
She came in as relief for 1st Base Coach Antoan Richardson, who was ejected in the 3rd inning. After the game, the Baseball Hall of Fame collected her helmet to put on display in Cooperstown.
