Woman named manager of Yankees MiL team

[Squirrel]

Rachel Balkovec becomes the first woman manager of the Yankees low-A team. From reading about her, it sounds well deserved. Congrats, Rachel ...  you may be the first, but I hope not the last.

Nice to see her getting rewarded for a job well done.  I hope she does well for herself!

I hope and expect that someday filling such a position with someone with two X chromosomes will not be a noteworthy event. But it certainly is now and I think it's good that this happened.

Hey, that's pretty cool, congrats to her despite the involvement of those Damned Yankees.
