Dodgers Make History With MLB's First Female Trainer

Dodgers Make History With MLB's First Female Trainer

The Dodgers are set to make MLB history by hiring Sue Falsone as head trainer.

She is believed to be the first female head trainer for a major league baseball club. The announcement is expected to be made next week.

Dodger players are familiar with Falsone. She has been a physical therapist and consultant for the team since 2008. She is also known for introducing the team to yoga classes.

Falsone even conducted several on-field yoga classes for fans during off days. Dodger outfielder Andre Ethier, who has embraced yoga because of Falsone, attended some of those classes and stretched alongside delighted fans.

Stan Conte, the Dodgers' head athletic trainer for the last five years, will remain with the organization and continue to oversee its medical department, according to an MLB report.
