If you have been following baseball news the last few hours, you probably know that the Miami Marlins have named Kim Ng their new general manager. It is a truly historic move given that she now becomes the first female GM in North American men’s pro sports team. She has previously worked with several teams in her journey to where she is now, including the New York Yankees.
David Adler of MLB.com points out that the New York Yankees represented one of the most important steps in Ng’s career. In the Bronx, she was an assistant GM in 1998.
