Possible 1st female general manager in the big leagues

Kim Ng, the assistant general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, could possibly be hired as the first female general manager in the big leagues. She has interviewed for the vacant GM position for the San Diego Padres. Ng has interviewed for GM positions before; once with the Dodgers and once with the Seattle Mariners. She is already the only women to have a high executive position in the major leagues. In her eighth season with the Dodgers organization, Ng has been around the baseball industry. Before coming to the Dodgers, she was a top advisor to GM Brian Cashman of the New York Yankees. It is believed that Red Sox assistant GM Jed Hoyer is the leading candidate for the vacant position.

Whether or not Ng gets the job, it is still a feel good story in the baseball scene. It just goes to show that equality is still improving as time goes on. America witnessed history last November when Barack Obama became our very first African-American President. It would be very gratifying to see a woman take the position of a GM in professional baseball. Obviously she has a proven track record and can get the job done. Coming from the Yankees and Dodgers organizations, you can get the sense that success is a part of Ng's personality. Both organizations have rich history and both have been very organized and successful organizations when she has been around. The fact that she has been interviewed before is impressive. Although overlooked, it still adds some significance to the story.

I might not be a fan of the San Diego Padres baseball team, but I am sure rooting for their organization for making the right decision to interview Kim Ng as the next possible GM for their organization.
