The Sox put on a show for the history books today—twice. The first shot at immortality was Game One of the doubleheader, when Danny Jansen became the first player to play for both teams in the same game.
The second game featured another first: two female broadcasters for the Red Sox (working alongside two male broadcasters), as the excellent duo from Double A, Emma Tiedemann and Rylee Pay, staffed the NESN booth with the regular crew. The occasion was in celebration of Women’s Equality Day, which was passed by Congress in 1973 and commemorates the day in 1920 when women were granted the right to vote.
