We talk with NBC Sports Bay Area writer Jessica Kleinschmidt, covering a range of topics from her career in baseball to “embracing what pisses people off.” Jess shares her “made it” moments, the challenges of being a woman in the industry, the influence her father had on her growing up, her favorite moments covering the sport, the funniest personalities she’s encountered while covering players, her goals and ambitions for the future, the moment in baseball history she would choose to go back in time to cover, her affinity for chicken wings and much more. Enjoy!
