Alyssa Nakken made Major League history on Tuesday when the San Francisco Giants called on her to coach first base.

She became the first woman to coach on the field in a regular-season game in San Francisco's 13-2 win over the San Diego Padres.

"I think we're all inspirations doing everything that we do on a day-to-day basis and I think, yes, this carries a little bit more weight because of the visibility, obviously there's a historical nature to it," she said. "But again, this is my job."

Nakken came in to coach first base for the Giants in the third inning after Antoan Richardson was ejected.

Gabe Kapler said Nakken had "prepared for this moment" while working with Richardson and others.

"So it's not a foreign spot on the field for her. She does so many other things well that aren't seen," he said. "So it's nice to see her kind of be right there in the spotlight and do it on the field."
