Happy Monday, San Francisco Giants fans.
The Giants, as you’re surely aware of, are in the middle of searching for a new manager after firing Gabe Kapler with three games left in the 2023 season. And over the weekend news broke of a very exciting interview.
According to a report from The Athletic’s Andrew Baggarly, the Giants interviewed Alyssa Nakken for their open manager position. As Baggarly notes, it’s believed to be the first time in MLB history that a woman has interviewed for a manager’s position.
That’s just the latest in a long string of barrier-breaking that Nakken has done, which includes becoming the first woman to be an on-the-field coach in an MLB game, when she took over first base coach duties during a game last season.
