NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — There was historic news in the sports world earlier this week. The Yankees have named the first female minor league manager in MLB history.
Rachel Balkovec is the new skipper of the club’s Single A affiliate in Tampa.
As CBS2’s Steve Overmyer reported Wednesday, she has had to pave her own road to success.
“If you know my story and you have a pulse, it’s pretty hard not to get behind what’s going on here,” Balkovec said.
Balkovec’s road to manager was not an easy one.
