Jessica Mendoza and Melanie Newman will serve as the first all-women's broadcast team for a nationally broadcast MLB game on Sept. 29. The featured teams haven't been announced by ESPN.
CNN Business' Frank Pallotta reported Tuesday it's also the first time ESPN will use an all-female announcing crew for an MLB, NBA or NFL regular-season or playoff game.
"Honestly, each earmark is just another page," Newman told Pallotta. "I feel fortunate to be the one handed this chance, it's our responsibility until there are no more firsts and it's just an even playing field of all qualified professionals who happen to look different.
