Blue Jays hire first female coach as Jaime Vieira joins minor-league staff

TORONTO – The Toronto Blue Jays have hired Jaime Vieira as a minor-league hitting coach, making the Georgetown, Ont., native the first woman to coach in the organization.

Vieira, a former softball player and coach with the Humber Hawks who holds a Master of Science degree from York University, worked as a baseball operations research and development intern last year, helping prepare for the draft among other tasks.

She first joined the club in 2019 as a programs specialist with the Jays Care Foundation and was promoted to a programs specialist a year later after developing and running a series of events for coaches and players.

Where she ends up coaching this season wasn’t immediately clear as the club is still finalizing roles for its minor-league staff. But Vieira is the latest example of how accomplished women are unlocking doors to roles in the sport that until very recently had been exclusively for men.

On Sunday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reported that Rachel Balkovec will manage the New York Yankees’ low-A affiliate in Tampa, a first in affiliated pro baseball. Balkovec originally joined the Yankees organization as a minor-league hitting coach in 2019, having previously worked as a strength and conditioning coach in the St. Louis Cardinals and Houston Astros systems.

In 2020, the San Francisco Giants made Alyssa Nakken the first full-time female coach in the majors when she was added as a coaching assistant on Gabe Kapler’s staff, while later that year Kim Ng became the first woman GM when the Miami Marlins handed her the club’s reins.

Late in 2017, Nikki Huffman was hired by the Blue Jays as their head athletic trainer, becoming only the second woman to serve in the role in of North American’s four major sports leagues.

Ladies Who Shaved Their Private And Public Hair Needs To Know This

Many women practice waxing or shaving as methods of removing body hair. Still, a recent research has shown that this habit is dangerous and it must be stopped right away. This research was carried out by a team of scientists led by Andrea De Maria and it was published in the “American Diary of Obstetrics and Gynecology”. The results of the research have indicated that eighty seven percent of women go to the beauty salon to get their private intimate parts waxed, while ninety percent of all women shave their pubic hair on a regular basis. Nevertheless, De Maria claims that women should not wax or shave their private parts. As De Maria explains, the skin in the genital region is pretty sensitive and vulnerable to infection, particularly when there are small cuts and wounds on the surface of the skin caused during the process of shaving or waxing. This region also contains a great number of sweat glands and this means that this region is perfect for the growth of bacteria. Event...
