Catie Griggs is still new to the Camden Yards fan experience, but she has made it a priority early in her Orioles tenure to get a feel for every corner of the stadium.
“I think I’ve sat in roughly 15 different spots in the ballpark so far,” said Griggs, the Orioles’ new president of business operations. “This is an incredible location, but it’s new to me. I know that, and the only way I can get to know it is by experiencing it. We serve our fans. I want to understand what they’re going through. I was in the splash zone for the sixth inning the other night against the [Chicago] White Sox. I got real wet. It was a lot of fun.”
The Orioles introduced Griggs with a news conference in their first base dugout Wednesday, providing a glimpse at the priorities of the first major hire David Rubenstein made as owner. Griggs, who assumed the role Aug. 19, moved her family across the country to join Baltimore.
