Kim Ng gives me hope. She has pioneered a path for countless women who want to work in baseball. Her achievement deserves to be celebrated, but not by the gatekeepers who stood in her way.
That Ng wasn’t hired as a GM until the year 2020 is a disgrace. Team owners, Rob Manfred and the Commissioner’s Office should be embarrassed that it took so long for Ng to secure a job as general manager. Time and time again, Ng interviewed for GM openings. Every single time, MLB team owners chose to hire a less-qualified white man, rather than Ng.
