She's Got a Green Thumb
This woman is outstanding in her field! Heather Nabozny is the first woman to hold the job of head groundskeeper in Major League Baseball. Nabozny is in charge of the grounds at Tiger Stadium in Detroit, Michigan. Now that the Tigers' season is over, Nabozny will start rebuilding the field. She'd rather watch her team in the playoffs but she'll settle for watching the grass grow—and reshaping the home-plate area and pitcher's mound. Nabozny says she likes working in the empty ballpark: "It's so quiet and peaceful."
