Former softball player and two-time Olympic Gold medalist Jessica Mendoza on Tuesday night became the first woman to work as an analyst for an MLB playoff game when she was part of the ESPN AL Wild Card broadcast team.

Mike Bell, who hosts a radio show on 92.9 The Game, sent a series of incredibly sexist tweets about Mendoza. He deleted the worst one, but not before it was preserved via screenshot.
