Doug Gallant, head groundskeeper for the Cincinnati Reds, paid a friendly visit to Joe Motz and The Motz Group on Tuesday March 30th. He presented us with a bag of Great American Ball Park Grass Seed Mix by Scotts personalized with his endorsement to be sold in all the regional "big box" stores and hardware stores around town. Maybe you've heard him on the local radio stations as well?"For me it's very gratifying to be fortunate enough to be in a position to have a positive impact on people's lives and careers" says Joe Motz, president of The Motz Group. "Doug interned with us in the summers while attending The Ohio State University. Upon graduation he worked with us for six years before teaming up with The Cincinnati Reds as their head groundskeeper."
Doug was named to his current position as Head Groundskeeper for the Reds in January 2001. He oversees all aspects of the daily playing field maintenance. He attended Wilmington College, where he played baseball for two seasons for former Reds star Brooks Lawrence. He later transferred to Ohio State and graduated in 1994 with a degree in turfgrass management.
"We had many herculean efforts together through that period building major league ball parks around the country from Land Shark Stadium (then Pro Player Stadium) to Great American Ballpark. Now that his mug shot is promoted all over town we'll be able to say we know him when... Congratulations Doug!"
