MIAMI – For Kim Ng, the first three weeks as general manager of the Miami Marlins has meant less rest and more coffee.She has been getting to know colleagues at work, contacting agents and other teams, and learning as much as she can about the 150 or so players in the Marlins organization.“Let's call it a crash course,” Ng said with a smile. “I got to sleep in until 5:30 this morning, so I'm doing pretty good.
Not a big coffee drinker, but I've had to dip in there a bit these past couple of weeks. My husband has been really great making sure I'm eating three times a day.”Having a husband in a supporting role is a reminder Ng is the first female general manager in major league history.
