Fox News
Bianca Smith broke through the boundaries of tradition when she was hired by the Boston Red Sox as a Minor League coach in January, making her the first Black woman to coach in professional baseball.
"The opportunity is amazing," Smith said in an interview with the MLB Network at the time. "I think it’s a great opportunity also to kind of inspire other women who are interested in this game." She continued: "This is not really something I thought about when I was younger. I kind of fell into it being an athlete. So I’m excited to get that chance to show what I can do."More Related News
