Jen Pawol Poised to Shatter MLB Gender Barrier — What’s Driving Her Unstoppable Energy?
She was going to make her major league debut this weekend, becoming the first female umpire in a century and a half of big league baseball.
“I was overcome with emotion,” Pawol recalled Thursday, two days before she breaks a gender barrier when she works the bases during Miami’s doubleheader at Atlanta. “It was super emotional to finally be living that phone call that I’d been hoping for and working towards for quite a while, and I just felt super full — I feel like a fully charged battery ready to go.”
