There was history — and her story, too — in the broadcast booth at Tropicana Field on Tuesday night. For the first time in Major League Baseball history, an all-female announcing crew called a game as the Tampa Bay Rays played the Baltimore Orioles. Newman is the Orioles' play-by-play radio announcer, Langs writes for MLB.com and Rizzo, Watney and Gardner are on air for MLB Network. @MelanieLynneN I @SlangsOnSports I @alannarizzo I @HeidiWatney I @LGRed I #MLBCentral pic.twitter.com/ZORB1TOQVk —@MLBNetwork"Trailblazers" posted the official MLB Twitter account. Tennis champion and social justice advocate Billie Jean King celebrated the broadcast by posting on Twitter: "It's a history-making night for MLB."
