Nicole Sherry McFadyen rose through the ranks to become head groundskeeper for the Baltimore Orioles, one of only two women ever to hold that position in the history of Major League Baseball. This documentary traces Nicole's journey from her first internship with the Orioles through her first job in the minor leagues to her return to Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The result is a deeply personal, humorous, and uplifting look at how one woman ultimately broke the glass ceiling. Please note this title contains potentially offensive language.
