Alyssa Nakken made major league history as the first female coach on the field in a regular-season game Tuesday in the Giants' win over San Diego.
SAN FRANCISCO — Alyssa Nakken was hard at work in the batting cage, just a few steps from the dugout, when suddenly the call came: The San Francisco Giants needed her to coach at first base.
"I think we're all inspirations doing everything that we do on a day-to-day basis and I think, yes, this carries a little bit more weight because of the visibility, obviously there's a historical nature to it," she said."But again, this is my job." People are also reading… "Right now in this moment as I reflect back, I reflect back to somebody needed to go out, we needed a coach to coach first base, our first base coach got thrown out, I've been in training as a first base coach for the last few years and work alongside Antoan, so I stepped in to what I've been hired to do, is support this staff and this team," Nakken said.
"So it's not a foreign spot on the field for her. She does so many other things well that aren't seen," he said."So it's nice to see her kind of be right there in the spotlight and do it on the field."
