Kim Ng Is First Woman GM in MLB History.
On Friday, the Marlins hired 51-year-old Ng as their new general manager.
Not only is Ng cementing her place as the first female GM in MLB history, but she's also the first Asian-American to land the position.
In fact, no woman has ever been the GM of any major men's American pro sports team, until now.
