Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

Leigh Castergine was the first woman to become a Senior Vice President in the Front Office of the Mets, a once-beloved, but now losing Major League Baseball team in New York.

But she met her glass ceiling when she, an unmarried woman, announced her pregnancy in 2013.
