Posted on Thursday, March 31 @ 11:24:45 UTC Jews in Sports

She broke through sexist barriers that kept women from covering men’s sports. She was the first woman reporter on WFAN, the all-sports talk radio network based in New York, and the first woman to do play-by-play on a Yankees television broadcast when she called games for WPIX and the MSG network in the mid-1990s.

In between she starred on Broadway, including a role as Dulcinea in “Man of La Mancha,” and overcame breast.
