We are now in Day 357* of the Major League Baseball lockout.
We got some historic firsts this week, which would have been awesome if there wasn’t a lockout and we could celebrate it.
- The Yankees made history yesterday when they named Rachel Baklovec as the manager of their Class Low-A Tampa Tarpons. Baklovec will become the first woman to manage an affiliated baseball club.
- Lindsey Adler has more on Baklovec and her baseball career. (The Athletic sub. req.)
- More history was made down under as Genevieve Beacom became the first woman to pitch in the Australian Baseball League.
