Bobby Higginson (born August 18, 1970 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an outfielder in Major League Baseball who has played his entire career for the Detroit Tigers. He has a career batting average of .272. He attended Temple University. Higginson was drafted by the Tigers in the 12th round of the 1992 draft. His rookie year was 1995 when he played 130 games for the Tigers. Higginson has hit .300 in 1996 and 2000, scored over 100 runs in 2000 and drove in over 100 runs in 1997 and 2000. His career high of 30 home-runs came also in 2000. At his best, he was considered one of the better-fielding outfielders in baseball. He twice led the majors in outfield assists.
As of 2006, Higginson's baseball career appears to be over. After injury limited him to 10 games in 2005, he was removed from the Tigers' 40-man roster before the season ended. At age 35 and with his best years far behind him, another team is unlikely to sign him.
