The Hall of Fame received the helmet Nakken wore from the third through eighth innings to be used as an exhibit. “I try to live my life trying to be a good role model,” she said.
San Francisco Giants assistant coach Alyssa Nakken made history by becoming the first woman to coach on a Major League Baseball field when she took over coaching first base the team’s regular first base coach Antoan Richardson was ejected before the start of the third inning against the Padres at Oracle Park Tuesday. .What should have been a night of celebration for Giants coach Alyssa Nakken on Tuesday spun into controversy after San Francisco’s 13-2 victory over the San Diego Padres.
But the reasons for Richardson being replaced seemed steeped in friction. Richardson was ejected by umpiring crew chief Greg Gibson in the third inning, then later claimed that he was object of angry curses from the lips of the Padres’ acting third-base coach Mike Schildt. The Padres appeared to be incensed that the Giants added four second-inning runs after scoring six in the first, violating baseball etiquette while doing so. San Francisco’s Mauricio Dubon bunted for a single and Steven Duggar stole a base, defying the convention of ceasing to employ such plays when the score is lopsided.
The Giants also defended their style of play. Kapler saw no problem with piling on offense, since that can force teams to use more relief pitchers and weaken them in the long run.
