Detroit Tigers Foundation head prepares
for the High Holidays — and postseason.

ordan Field, 37, is in the midst
of a pennant race. No, he's not a
baseball player. The Huntington
Woods resident and Hillel Day School
alumni heads up the Detroit Tigers
Foundation.
Field came on board
with the Tigers in 2002,
straight out of law
school, into a strategic
planning position. At
the time, the Detroit
Tigers did not have a
team charity. I played a

central role in develop-
ing the Detroit Tigers
Foundation — its mission statement, stra-
tegic and business plan, logo creation, etc.
— and am the Foundation's first and only
director; he said.
Since 2005, the Detroit Tigers Foundation
(an affiliate of Hitch Charities) has donated
more than $15 million in grants, college
scholarships and tickets to Tigers games.
In addition to providing direction for the
foundation and the team's philanthropic
activities, Field is also responsible for the
Player Relations and Youth Sports depart-
ments, working closely with players and
their representatives on community and
corporate appearances, charitable giving
and special events and providing direction
for the Tigers' signature youth sports pro-
gram, Play Baseball Detroit, which annually
serves more than 10,000 children in the
greater Detroit region.
"I have had the privilege of working
behind the scenes and accompanying play-
ers for many memorable moments includ-
ing the establishment of the Miguel Cabrera
Foundation, the launch of Justin Verlander's
Wins for Warriors program and the devel-
opment of Max Scherzer's Charity Fantasy
Football League," Field said.
This year, Field got to work behind the
scenes with Derek Jeter's Turn 2 Foundation
on the ceremony held in August to honor
Jeter's final season and outstanding Major
League career.
"I have a great deal of respect for Derek
and the Jeter family, not only for the way he
treats people but also for the tremendous
work his foundation does in Tampa, New
York and Kalamazoo," Field said. "I don't
root for the Yankees, but we should all
be proud that such a fine person, family
and foundation have roots in the state of
Michigan:'
In the heat of a neck-and-neck race with
the Kansas City Royals, Field said everyone
in the Tigers' front office and clubhouse has
the same goal: get to the postseason.
"Whether we win or lose, I work hard to
approach every day the same," Field said.
"We have a great team, with outstanding
players that have experience playing mean-
ingful games in September. Usually this
time of year, experience is a key factor and I
know our team is well prepared every time
they take the field:"
With the High Holidays coming during
the last week of the season, Field, a mem-
ber of Temple Emanu-El in Oak Park, is
making some tough choices about when to
come to the ballpark. He said he planned
to work on Wednesday and join his fam-
ily for an Erev Rosh Hashanah dinner that
evening.
"I won't work on Thursday:' Field said.
"We plan to attend a family service before
going apple picking in the afternoon and
attending a family dinner in the evening:'
He'll be back to work on Friday and
throughout the weekend as the regular sea-
son comes to an end.
"If we advance to the postseason, the
American League is not scheduled to play
on Yom Kipper," Field said. "So while I
would attend Game 2 of the ALDS on Kol
Nidrei, I would spend Yom Kipper fasting
before attending a family break-fast:'
