We've got plenty to wring our hands about in baseball right now, so why not celebrate the great moments this year wherever we can find them?

30yo coach Alyssa Nakken became the first woman to coach in an on-field capacity in MLB history yesterday, and her jersey went to the HOF after the game.

Congrats to her, and good on Gabe Kapler for bucking trend and groupthink in favor of finding the right talent for his coaching staff. May she be the first of many.

Very happy for her and glad to see her break that glass ceiling
As much as I don't think Kapler is a good manager...and possibly person, good on him and the Giants for being the first MLB club to have a woman coach on field
