Outside The Confines: Kim Ng makes history for women in baseball

The biggest story of the past week, and certainly the biggest news since the end of the World Series, is the announcement of the new Miami Marlins General Manager. The Marlins will find their new leader in Kim Ng, the former Senior Vice President of Baseball Operations for MLB, and Assistant GM to both the Yankees and Dodgers, and long-overlooked for the role by other teams.

Ng becomes the first woman to be General Manager of a MLB team, making history for women in the sport in the same season Alyssa Nakken became the first full-time female MLB coach.
