MLB history has already been made several times during the unique 2020 MLB season. Not only are we in the midst of a historic 60-game schedule, but we also have a DH in the National League for the first time.

However, there was another MLB first that occurred in the Bay Area during the opening series of the season. The SF Giants became the first major league franchise to have a female, on-field coach during a game — Alyssa Nakken

Nakken added a new page to MLB record books when she took the field during the Giants’ opening series against the rival Los Angeles Dodgers.
