SAN FRANCISCO -- Alyssa Nakken will be in the spotlight. That tends to happen when you're making history.
Nakken will be a focus when the Giants take the field in spring training for the first time. She'll have extra eyes on her when she hits grounders to Brandon Crawford for the first time, or throws batting practice to Buster Posey. When the players and all members of the staff line up at Dodger Stadium on March 26, there will be extra interest in the assistant coach who will become the first woman to be on a big league staff.
