ordan Field, 46, Detroit 
native and an alum of 
Hillel Day School, is 
working his dream role as 
director of player and alumni 
relations at the Detroit Tigers. 
The Detroit Jewish News caught 

up with Jordan, as well as his

Detroit and connections to the

MEET JORDAN FIELD
Jordan Field, 46, director of 
Player and Alumni Relations, 
lives in Huntington Woods with 
his wife, Marjie, and two sons.
JN: Could you elaborate on 
your role? 
JF: I started with the Tigers 
in 2002 in a strategic planning 
role, playing a central role 
in the creation and develop-
ment of the Detroit Tigers 
Foundation, our team’s official 
charity. For many years I over-
saw our team’s philanthropy 
and youth baseball programs. 
My role eventually grew to 
include Player Relations, 
Alumni Relations, Tigers 
Authentics and Tigers Fantasy 
Camp. Today, my role is 
focused on Player and Alumni 
Relations, with an emphasis 
on the Player and Family 
Experience in Detroit. 
JN: What is the most exciting 
part of working with the Tigers 
organization? 
JF: The opportunity for a 
child to meet a Tigers player, 
get an autograph, take a photo, 

give a high-five is a memory 
that can last a lifetime for both 
the child and the player. I have 
had the honor of accompany-
ing our players many times to 
visit patients at Children’s and 
VA Hospitals, to organize wish-
es with wish-granting organi-
zations and to host baseball 
events for special-needs 
children. 
JN: Is there a particular day/
game/moment that stands out 
the most?
JF: Early in my career, I took 
great pride in serving on the 
2005 MLB All Star Game host 
committee in Detroit. I loved 
seeing our hard work come 
to life. Also, when the state 
of Michigan passed legisla-
tion that created the license 
plates that feature the Tigers, 
Pistons, Red Wings and Lions 
logos. That was a project that 
I worked on for nearly 14 
years. I smile every time I see 
a car with one of those plates. 
They have raised hundreds of 
thousands of dollars for each 
respective team charity. Also
