Kim Ng is one of the most qualified people to ever be named General Manager of a baseball team

Friday morning we all got the same MLB alert: One more glass ceiling was shattered as the Marlins named Kim Ng their next General Manager.

It was joyous and the news resonated far beyond baseball. Later Friday as I was watching the news I giggled a bit as an anchor tried to report the story but clearly hadn’t been prepped for how to pronounce her name (it’s pronounced “Ang”). My boss (not a huge baseball fan) texted me and another co-worker with a shot of the news alert about an hour later. But as the day went on I noticed a bifurcation on my Twitter feed about what this news meant that was equally important, and I thought it was important to discuss here.
