Giants coach Alyssa Nakken has hit ground running after making history

SAN FRANCISCO -- When the Giants' new 13-person coaching staff gathered last week in the clubhouse at Oracle Park, one thing that stood out was just how varied their previous homes were.

The Giants grabbed a bench coach from the Cleveland Indians. One of their hitting coaches is from the Cincinnati Reds, the other spent last season with the Great Lakes Loons in Midland, Michigan. The pitchers will work with new coaches who spent 2019 working for teams like the Los Angeles Angels, Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays.

It's a group that's not all too familiar with San Francisco, so Alyssa Nakken decided to take her new coworkers deep into the city.
