antoine says the commons had undertones of racism. the good news is is the two clear the air before the game and did an interview on nbc sports bay area. >> i believed that -- was a racist. what i was trying to do was bring awareness to how words impact certain communities. >> i used inappropriate language, which is my biggest issue last night. i apologized for that. >> richardson's ejection led to an historic moment. there is. giants coach alyssa nakken becoming the first woman to serve as a base coach during a major league regular-season game. she spoke to nbc sports bay area after the contest. >> i was prepared for this moment. i never knew if or when it would happen but i was ready to step in when the team needed me. i think it means a lot. larry: mackin coached during

spring training, but this was her first regular-season game in the helmet she wore will soon be displayed in the baseball hall of fame in cooperstown. talking with a bunch of giants people today, they love alyssa nakken. kristen: so many great parts to this story. one of those was that alyssa nakken was a longtime fan before she was a coach. larry: karina nova spoke with alyssa and -- >> i spoke to both of them during spring training and they both told me they believe diversity on it off the field directly correlates with winning. since the beginning of baseball, and then have dominated the field. until the moment this woman stepped out in uniform in 2020. >> it was certainly emotional. i grew up loving the giants. i was three weeks old when i went to my first game. it was a combination of, wow, no

female has done this before and two, i get to represent this baseball team that has meant so much to me for so many years. my whole life. what an honor that is. >> alyssa nakken certainly put in her time to get to this point. her years as a star softball player at sacramento state commit to taking on a dream internship for her beloved giants in 2014. >> one of my supervisors at the time asked a question like, ok, if you could have any role here in this organization, what would it be? i told him, i don't see it yet. i know it is here, i just don't see it. >> nakken couldn't see coach as a possible title at that time. >> it never crossed my mind because i never saw a woman in this position. >> that all changed when the giants hired gabe kaplan as

manager. and built a new coaching staff with an open mind. >> when you said you wanted to hire her, did you get pushback? >> there's always going to be question marks because people don't understand how valuable diversity can be in leadership positions. it is our belief tha der and winning are very much connected. >> hiring nakken came down to her being the best person for the job. >> first and foremost, she is an excellent connector and communicator. she can see issues that arisek ood at the issues independently, she is as hard a worker as i have been around. she is more than willing to take on any task. >> nakken says the job offer did

come as a surprise. after gladly accepting, she made history. becoming the first female mlb coach. something that certainly made headlines and drew criticism. do you think there is added pressure on you because you are a woman in this position? >> i do not feel any added pressure. in this game, there's so much pressure. you have to compete at the highest level every night for a really long season. that's a lot of pressure. i work with and for kap. that's the leader, that's who we are working for. we trust in his leadership. he puts pressure on us to show up every single day and elevate and raise the bar for ourselves and each other. >> do you think there is a benefit to other baseball teams perhaps hiring more female coaches and getting more women on staff in mlb? >> absolutely.

i think it is silly that for so long they have only pulled from 50% of the candidate pool. when you cast a wider net, you for that role.ore opportuni i think just naturally come of the teams are going to see just how much of a competitive advantage you can have by adding diversity to your staff and your clubhouse. >> hiring more diverse candidates, whether it is life experience, race or gender, is what nakken and kap believe is what makes for a winning team. >> proof of concept. i would say it, our players would say it, coaching staff would say it. she has been an extraordinary addition to our clubhouse, and the field when she is on it, and to our staff in general. >> any a device -- any advice to

girls out there? >> before my first spring training, the best advice i got was, don't be -- don't try to be the type of code-2 or not. it seems simple, but i thought that every single day. it is simple advice because it makes everything less overwhelming. kristen: i have to tell you, nakken is very humble. she says it's just like anything else. stay true to yourself and work hard. that is what got her to making history in baseball again. larry: it's a great story and last night alyssa said, i'm just doing my job and my job is to coach. male, female, it doesn't matter. she really is a trail blazer and it is great she is with the giants. a survey conducted by a group opposed to the a's terminal projects is the plan should be put before oakland voters.

the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto. kristen: karina and mike join us. a recent survey asked some managers what they really think about their staffers working from home. more than half of managers polled by the company good higher agree a full-time return to the office will happen. 77% said they are considering terminating employees, or cutting their pay for refusing to return to the office. it seems like there is a bit of a discrepancy here between what the employees say they want and with the managers are saying. mike: i'm glad those managers were honest. i imagine a lot of that was not from silicon valley. i imagine they are still going to allow a lot of their people to work at home, or the hybrid

system. that is fantastic but i noticed today there were a lot more people in our building. kristen: i cede my time to larry. [laughter] larry: i could do hours on this topic. mike, you make a great point about silicon valley being different from a lot of other businesses. but, if these people really want to drag everybody back in, read to room. your employees will quit and go to a company that accommodates a better work-life balance. boom. >> if you were hired to work at a place, to go in full-time, it is fair for the employer to say hey, you said you could drive in every day monday through friday. let's see if we can work with you. but, the employer does have some rights. larry: yeah, but life has changed fund mentally.

goes, but what if the chip malfunctions and they have to cut you up and take it out? i don't know.

the rules vary from state to state. in some places, the renters, or squatters, have more rights and the owner of the actual property. in other states. you are out of there. it depends what the situation is in virginia but if you are a homebuyer and you already have to fix the thing up and you have to deal with somebody downstairs? look for another property. >> i can't wait until we do the follow-up story where we say oh, it sold for over asking price. cash offer. [laughter] >> that's how things are going these days. mike: did reestablish if this is a person that is living, or a ghost? kristen: i thick it is an actual human. they can't get him out, so they are done. larry: it is going to make it tougher if it is a ghost. that should be clarified in the listing. if you are a pizza fan, here's something for you. a restaurant in vegas is serving

a pizza with a black crust. they are calling it murder pie. it is part of the theme of the restaurant which includes scary props and videogames. kristen: what is that, squid inc.? larry: or really burned. it is next to a horror seemed escape room. would you take a bite of murder pizza? kristen: of course. larry: would you beat the crust? kristen: i love crust. if it is squid ink, they put that imposter. mike: you can tell a little bit, but it doesn't take away from the overall enjoyment. i am on board. karina: it looks like the pizza i accidentally leave in the toaster for too long. [laughter] if it tastes the same, what does it matter? larry: good marketing. maybe. some people like it. kristen: i think other -- color
