Since the Detroit Tigers ended the regular season last Sunday, Heather Nabozny has had time to accomplish tasks normally considered a luxury.

Nabozny, the Tigers’ head groundskeeper, and her staff paid extra attention to sculpturing the pitching mounds on the field and in the bullpens at Comerica Park, stenciled the official postseason logos onto the turf and double-cut the outfield grass. She said the perpendicular mowing formed aesthetically pleasing rectangles for television viewers and tighter play for fielders.

“It’s like vacuuming twice,” she added.

The additional landscaping could come into play starting Monday, when the Tigers host the Oakland Athletics in Game 3 of their American League division series. This is Detroit’s third consecutive year of postseason play, but Nabozny, 43, is riding a more impressive streak. She has been a member of the grounds crew for the past 10 Super Bowls, and expects to be on the staff for the Feb. 2 game at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

That may not be a Super Bowl record, but Nabozny attained a milestone as the first woman known to have been a head groundskeeper when the Tigers hired her in 1999. She was followed by Nicole McFadyen, the Baltimore Orioles’ head groundskeeper since 2007.
