The Miami Marlins formally introduced Kim Ng as the team's general manager on Monday. She is the first woman to hold the position in any of the four major American men’s pro sports leagues.
"The idea that it has affected this many people is just extraordinary," Ng said Monday at her introductory press conference. "I thought it would be a big deal, but this is beyond my expectations. I think that really is just a testament to where we are. People are looking for hope, and people are looking for inspiration, and I'm happy that this is a part of it.
