- Manager, player and coach kneel before pre-season game
- Alyssa Nakken makes history as she coaches at first base
San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler and several of his players knelt during the national anthem before their 6-2 pre-season victory against the Oakland Athletics.
Also on Monday, Alyssa Nakken, became the first woman to coach on-field in a major league game, when she took over duties for the Giants at first base. Nakken joined San Francisco as an intern in 2014 before becoming the first full-time woman in a coaching position on a MLB team in January. She was a college softball star at Sacramento State from 2009 to 2012.
Congratulations on making history! https://t.co/lDVapd3DPi
