Why Matt Cain's perfect game is special to Giants coach Alyssa Nakken

Giants coach Alyssa Nakken has been a fan of the team since the day she was born. Growing up in Woodland, a town outside Sacramento, Nakken grew up supporting the Giants before coming to work for the team as a baseball operations intern in 2014.

And as Nakken revealed in an interview with NBC Sports Bay Area’s “Triples Alley” crew, the Giants helped give her a pretty incredible 22nd birthday present.
