WHY YOU SHOULD GIVE A CRAP ABOUT THE MLB (MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL) PLAYOFFS
The boys of summer are heading into the best time of year for baseball fans - fall ball.
The Miami Marlins are back in the playoffs for the first time in two decades, led by the first female general manager in MLB history, Kim Ng. Ng's appointment is a groundbreaking moment for women in sports. Notably, the Marlins are the only team in men's major U.S. team sports, with women holding key positions in business and on-field operations. This season brought us more women in C-suite roles at MLB teams than ever before.

We discuss the underdog teams, what to expect and share what it's like to work for an MLB team and be at a playoff game with obnoxious fans when your team gets swept. LISTEN UP
