Alyssa Nakken made history Monday and doubled up on Tuesday. But on a video call with reporters to discuss her last two days as the Giants' first base coach, the first on-field female coach in MLB history said her "wow moment" did not take place between the lines.
Nakken said she was asked to take part in two meetings to tell players that they had made the Opening Day roster, one before the game at Oracle Park and one during it.
"That to me was such an amazing thing to do, to tell those guys and look them in the eye and say, 'You're coming to LA, you're on the Opening Day roster,' " Nakken said, smiling.
