This comes decades after Yankees radio analyst Suzyn Waldman became the first full-time female broadcaster for an MLB team."My first game was 1992 - that's a really long time ago, and I know there has been other women that do some innings, but I've been in that booth a very long time, and the only one. Finally, someone that I have watched for years, do everything right," Waldman said of Cavnar.
Cavnar credits surrounding herself with a community of support, which includes Waldman, before taking the leap of faith. "I'm watching a lot of young women come up now, and they have that community around, and that's the biggest difference - we didn't have anybody, we were by ourselves," Waldman said."You're going to have people who like you and don't like you, and then there's the added layer that they have their own issues with females as broadcasters in sports," Cavnar said. "That's not my issue. That's their issue.
