First woman interview for MLB manager position

[tntoriole]

How exciting!!! I am keeping my fingers crossed!! Kudos to the Giants !! 

 

“Alyssa Nakken made history in 2020 when she became the first woman appointed to a Major League Baseball coaching staff. Now she’s making history again.

She’s believed to be the first woman to officially interview for a major-league managerial position.

Nakken was among the San Francisco Giants’ internal candidates to sit for a formal, first-round interview this past week, The Athletic has confirmed. Nakken joined bench coach Kai Correa and third base coach Mark Hallberg as members of the current coaching staff under initial consideration to replace Gabe Kapler, who was relieved of duties on Sept. 29 with a year remaining on his contract…” 

 

From the Athletic..

I don't find it exciting, I just don't care.  That's not to say I hope she doesn't get it.  I just don't really care if she does or not.

The cynic in me (which is most of me) thinks this is a PR move.

Of course it is.  The fact that it's happening in SF isn't a coincidence.

Pretty sure they were the first to have a female PA announcer also.

That's where I'm at.  If she gets it because she's the right person for the job, great.  But I'm not going to be shouting from the roof tops about it.
