Oshawa Sports Hall of Fame - Our Mission

The objective of the Oshawa Sports Hall of Fame is to recognize and honour the achievements of Oshawa individuals and teams who have attained prominence and distinction in sports as well as those who have made a major contribution to the development of sport.

Located inside the Tribute Communities Centre, the Sports Hall of Fame plaques and citations are displayed on the main level walls. The 3600 square foot Museum housing artifacts, memorabilia and photographs is also located on this level at the west end behind Section 119. The new Museum location opened officially in the spring of 2008.

More about Scott Mann:
Baseball has taken Scott to four continents at the amateur and professional levels. An Oshawa native, Scott got his start in softball with Kingside Park before advancing through the Oshawa Legion Minor Baseball Association.  As a Junior Legionaire, he caught the eye of U.S. College, Canadian Provincial and Canadian National Team scouts.  Scott accepted scholarships at Alvin College in Texas for two years and Indiana State for two years, playing in the 1983 and 1984 National College Athletic Association World Series.  He also played with the 1981 Provincial Team, winning a gold medal at the Canada Games, and four years with the Canadian National Team (1981 to 1984).  With Team Canada, Scott won a gold medal at the International Tournament in the Netherlands, played in Intercontinental Cups in Edmonton and Belgium, the World Cup in Seoul, South Korea, the Pan American Games in Caracas, Venezuela, and the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.  Following the Olympics, Scott signed with the Montreal Expos organization and played four seasons professionally.  After a trade and short stint with the St. Louis Cardinals organization, he retired to settle in Indiana with his wife Tracy and son Jay.  Scott was further honoured in 2000 by his selection to Oshawa's Baseball Teams of the 70's and the Century as a right fielder.
