Astros, Athletics make history with female announcers

Monday's regular season contest between the Houston Astros and Oakland Athletics gave baseball fans a first as both franchises had a female voice doing play-by-play on their television broadcasts. Julia Morales and Jenny Cavnar led the calls for the Astros and Athletics on Monday, making it the first MLB regular season game with a woman on play-by-play for both teams, according to the Astros. Cavnar took over as the main play-by-play voice for the Athletics in February, becoming the first woman to be the primary play-by-play broadcaster for an MLB team.
