Tigers Groundskeeper Heather Nabozny, A Leader in Sports
In 1999, the Detroit Tigers hired 28-year-old Heather Nabozny as Head Groundskeeper — the first woman in all Major League Baseball to hold the position. It was the final year at Tiger Stadium, and construction was well underway on Comerica Park.
Heather has been a leader in professional sports throughout her career. Now in her 22nd season with the Tigers, she reflects on her time at Comerica Park.
