The Other Tom Green Show | Episode 5 with Jenny Cavnar

On this episode of 'The Other Tom Green Show', Tom welcomes trailblazing broadcaster Jenny Cavnar, the first woman to call MLB play-by-play in nearly 30 years. Jenny takes us inside her journey from growing up a Colorado sports fan to covering her hometown Rockies, working alongside legends in the booth, and eventually carving out her own space as the TV voice of the Oakland A’s. She reflects on the mentors and supporters who helped her “let Jenny be Jenny,” the challenges of breaking barriers in a male-dominated field, and the preparation it takes to thrive on the air. Jenny also shares the backstory of her now-famous "Fire up the fountains!" home run call, her early days covering the Rockies, and memorable moments with colleagues like Ryan Spilborghs. Beyond baseball, Jenny opens up about influences such as Susan Waldman, Connie Carpenter, and Joan Benoit, and what it means to balance family life with the demands of the job. From Dallas Braden’s big personality in the A’s booth to her kids picking ballparks for family trips, this episode offers a candid look at the grit, humor, and passion that define one of baseball’s most respected voices. 🎧 pod.link/1839032755 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
