Written by Teunis Felter

Baseball history will be made this weekend in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Former collegiate and Olympic softball star Jennie Finch will become the first woman to manage a professional baseball team when she serves as guest manager for the independent Bridgeport Bluefish this Sunday. The Bluefish announced Finch would serve as a guest manager back in March. In addition to managing the team she will also throw out the ceremonial first pitch and hold a meet-and-greet with fans before the game.
