This past week was punctuated by several groundbreaking moments for women in sport, with players breaking records on the basketball court, while an MLB play-by-play announcer made history off it.
Veteran baseball broadcaster Jenny Cavnar is the new primary play-by-play announcer for the Oakland Athletics, hired by NBC Sports California. Cavnar becomes the first woman to handle primary play-by-play duties in major league history — set to be the voice for most of the A’s games during the upcoming 2024 season.
