Breitbart-
Umpire Jen Pawol, who made Major League Baseball history as the league’s first female umpire on Saturday, has donated the cap she wore during the game to the Hall of Fame.
Pawol was called up to officiate at the Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins game on Saturday, and so became the first woman to ump a regular-season MLB game.
The 48-year-old New Jersey native worked the bases during Saturday’s doubleheader at Truist Park and then took her place behind the plate for Sunday’s game.
“The dream actually came true today. I’m still living in it. I’m so grateful to my family and Major League Baseball for creating such an incredible work environment … I’m just so thankful,” Pawol said on Saturday.
Pawol also donated the cap she wore to the Baseball Hall of Fame to commemorate her feat. more
Not impressed.

They has a couple of called strikes outside the strike zone at the Indians game yesterday, but not that bad! Her called strike was 6″ outside the zone… you’d think she would know what six inches looks like!
I have to be easy on her calls. I have seen some atrocious calls from men lately.
Maybe on that first pitch… in the heat of the moment… under incredible pressure to prove herself worthy… when she least needed something to go wrong… fearing the worst could happen… knowing that if something can go wrong it WILL go wrong… having experienced Murphy’s Law so many times before…
… her eyes momentarily crossed and she blew the call!
◑﹏◐
👈🏽 “All!”
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Her first call was a ball on an inside fastball that was clearly over the plate. FFS… (facepalm).
I’m OK with her if she replaces that horrid ump Angel Whatshisnuts.
soooooo can i now go to a lucille roberts in my loin cloth without issue ?
I’ve watched her call some games at the AAA level, and she was pretty consistent. I wish her the best going forward.

Jarhead, consistent? That’s not necessarily a positive statement.
Have you seen it’s picture….? Cue the Austin Powers meme….”That’s a MAN, baby”.
Nobody:
MLB: Here’s a female umpire.
Nobody:
MLB: How about a couple of broads in the broadcast booth too.
Does not belong.
