Jenny Cavnar made baseball history this year, and she was kind enough to tell us all about it

In the first episode of our new YouTube show "Infinite Jess" -- hosted by Cut4's Jessica Kleinschmidt -- Cavnar gave us a glimpse into what it's like to make history. Plus, MLB.com's Thomas Harding stopped by to add a little perspective as well.
