Jenny Cavnar Redefining Baseball as MLB’s First Female Play-by-Play

Major League Baseball’s Jenny Cavnar made history last year when the then-Oakland Athletics named her as their lead play-by-play announcer, the first time in MLB history that a woman has held that position. Jenny joins Leslie and Arielle to talk about growing up in a baseball family, stepping into play-by-play right after having her first child, and how she handles praise and criticism from the MLB fanbase.

Redefined is a Front Office Sports Network show, presented by LYCRA® Brand, that celebrates the stories, experiences and realities of multi-dimensional women in sports who are redefining success. New episodes release every Wednesday and can be found on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, and the FOS website.
