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.
