The moment we've been waiting for. š¤©ā£

Jen Pawol makes her debut as the first female umpire to work a regular-season game in the major leagues during the Atlanta Bravesā faceoff against the Miami Marlins. ā¾ļøā£ā£ā£

The New Jersey native, who played college softball and got her start at an MLB Umpire Camp, made her much-anticipated debut as the first base umpire for Saturdayās first game of a split doubleheader between the Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins. š§¢ā£ā£ā£
ā£
She already made waves earlier this year as the first woman in 17 years to work MLB spring training, and now sheās shattered one of baseballās longest-standing gender barriers. šŖā£ā£ā£

We LOVE to see it. š«”
