It all pays off in the end. 🤩⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Jen Pawol makes her debut as the first female umpire to work a regular-season game in the major leagues during the Atlanta Braves’ faceoff against the Miami Marlins. ⚾️⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 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 Saturday’s first game of a split doubleheader between the Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins. 🧢⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ She already made waves earlier this year as the first woman in 17 years to work MLB spring training, and now she’s shattered one of baseball’s longest-standing gender barriers. 💪⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ We LOVE to see it. 🫡 #thegist⁣⁣ ⁣ #mlb #womeninsports #jenpawol #menssports #mensbaseball #umpire⁣
