It may just have been an honorary position as a guest manager for an independent minor league team, but Jennie Finch accomplished a first Sunday afternoon.
The former softball Olympian became the first woman to manage a professional baseball team as the guest manager for the Bridgeport Bluefish of the Atlantic League. Making the day even more special for Finch was that she helped lead the Bluefish to a 3-1 win over the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs.

The Bluefish have used guest managers in the past, previously allowing Paul O'Neill and Pete Rose take over the team for a day.
