NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!ATLANTA — It’s not very often (or ever, actually) that baseball fans stand and cheer for the ump. But when the stadium announcer introduced the umpire crew before Saturday’s Braves–Marlins game, the crowd went wild. Because taking her place at first base, Jen Pawol made history as the first female umpire in Major League Baseball history.”Dream came true, like the dream actually came true today,” Pawol said after the Braves’ 7-1 win over the Marlins in the opening game of a doubleheader. “I’m still living in it, and I’m just so grateful to my family, to Major League Baseball for just creating such an amazing work environment, to the umpires that I work with — we have just amazing camaraderie. We’re working hard, but we’re having fun. And I’m just so thankful.”CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMFrom the moment Pawol took the field, the Atlanta crowd let her know the occasion mattered. “It seemed like quite a few people started clapping and saying my name,” she said. “That was pretty intense and very, very emotional.”The milestone drew fans from all over — including some who bought tickets at the last minute when they found out Pawol was called up. Karen Schulz, a longtime Braves fan, held a sign that read “We r all dreamers. Go Jen!” Schulz compared witnessing this historic moment to the time she watched Hank Aaron break Babe Ruth’s all-time career home run record from her “tiny TV” in 1974.”I just think this represents the best of who we are as Americans,” Schulz told OutKick. “It’s the American dream. A little girl, little boy, grow up, really has a dream, and works hard, and the community supports them, and they train hard, and they earn their spot. There’s no way she should have made it here, all the obstacles in her way. But she wanted to do it. Ten years, sweating it out or longer in the minors, and she’s here. We just need to celebrate.”Another fan, Rodell Poole, wore an umpire jersey to the game in Pawol’s honor. “It’s unheard of, and it’s something that should have happened a long time ago,” Poole told OutKick. “I’m glad that it happened here in Atlanta, and we need to come out here and support her and let her know, hey, we want her to have a great career and continue to do it.”Some in attendance knew Pawol long before her name hit national headlines. Ed Novy, a fellow umpire and friend of Pawol for nearly 15 years, made a last-minute trip from New Jersey when she got the call-up. “She’s always been good at this,” Novy told OutKick. “She’s dedicated. She works her ass off. She’s very good, obviously. She wouldn’t be here right now if she wasn’t… I am beyond thrilled and proud of her, to call her a friend and to see her out here.”ANGELS SLUGGER YOAN MONCADA MISSES GAME TO TAKE US CITIZENSHIP TESTThe players, too, felt inspired by Pawol’s historic moment.
