The 51-year-old Ng is believed to be the first female GM in any of the four major North American sports leagues.

Ng has been involved in Major League Baseball since 1990 and has acted as the senior vice president of baseball operations for the MLB commissioner’s office since 2011.

Solid move by the Marlins, truly groundbreaking.
