It is with great pleasure that the Oshawa Dodgers announce the signing of Mike Prosper in the position of Field Manager. Dodgers President Troy May had this to say: Mike is the person I feel can take the Dodgers to the next step in our development as a franchise. Mike comes to the Dodgers after coaching for 10 years in the Oshawa Legion Minor Baseball Association. Prior to that Mike played 10 years in the Labatt's Metro Senior League where he starred as a Left-Handed power- hitting outfielder. Mike played his Minor Baseball in the East York Bulldogs organization before signing and playing one year in the New York Mets system. I interviewed a select few people for this position and right from the beginning it was obvious to me that Mike was the perfect fit for the Oshawa Dodgers. Mike's knowledge of the game and his no nonsense approach is what the Oshawa Dodgers were looking for. Former Dodgers Field Manager Troy May will stay on Mike's coaching staff and will patrol third base. Mike's family: Wife Bonnie, Son's Jordan and Brett.
This is going to be a season to remember in Oshawa.
