San Francisco Giants' Alyssa Nakken has become the first woman to coach on-field in a regular season Major League Baseball game, reports BBC.
Nakken was brought on at first base after regular first-base coach Antoan Richardson was ejected in the Giants' 13-2 win over the San Diego Padres.

She was appointed to the role in January 2020, becoming the first full-time female coach in the MLB.
"To be ready to step in was a no-brainer - this is my job," she said.
