The Kim Ng era of Marlins baseball officially began Friday. Her hiring drew near-universal praise from across the sports world (and far beyond). It’s not an exaggeration to say that it invigorated the existing fanbase and even earned the franchise new supporters. Particularly for women, for Asian-Americans, for any non-white and non-cis male people, I understand why you’d want to bask in the joy of this achievement for as long as possible.
But from what we know of Ng, she’s already getting to work. She is determined to build a championship-caliber team; despite an encouraging 2020 postseason berth, the Marlins are not close to that level.
