"To a few of us here today, this is a solemn and most momentous occasion," she said. "And yet, in the history of our nation, it is a commonplace occurrence. The orderly transfer of authority as called for in the Constitution routinely takes place as it has for almost two centuries, and few of us stop to think how unique we really are. In the eyes of many in the world, this every-four-year ceremony we accept as normal is nothing less than a miracle."

According to MLB.com, she was invited by the event organizers to take part in the ceremony with a pre-taped moment.

She interviewed with several teams for the general manager job over the course of her career and finally landed the job in November.
