edjr 5,545 Posted January 19, 2022 https://www.si.com/mlb/2022/01/14/red-sox-hire-katie-krall-as-minor-league-coach-double-a-portland-sea-dogs Quote The Red Sox have hired Katie Krall as its minor league coach, making the franchise the first to hire two women on their coaching staffs. Last year, the club hired Bianca Smith, making her the first Black woman to coach professional baseball. According to the Boston Globe, she will be promoted to a full-time coaching role in Fort Myers (Fla.) this year. Krall spent the 2020 and '21 seasons working as a baseball operations analyst for Boston's front office. Now, she's the new development coach for the Double A Portland Sea Dogs, per the Globe. Her twin sister, Annie Krall, confirmed the Globe's report of Katie's hiring as she tweeted, “Can’t wait to see Katie Krall in a uniform on the field!! In case anyone was still unsure… my twin sister is the coolest glass ceiling crusher out there! But maybe I’m a little biased.” Imagine her arguing with an umpire MLB is really dying a slow death Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thornton Melon 542 Posted January 20, 2022 There was a report on NESN last year saying the Red Sox had a whole "Diversity, Equity & Inclusion" department that like 40 employees. How much work could they possibly give these people??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
