What is your most memorable moment as an Oshawa Dodgers or if this will be your first
season, why did you want to become an Oshawa Dodger?
My most memorable moment with the Oshawa Dodgers really has nothing to do with baseball. Last
summer when my sister, brother in-law and nephews were involved in a car accident, I will never
forget when many of the players came to the hospital the night of the accident and stayed well through
the night waiting to see if everyone was okay and lending their support.

I like different kinds of music - Hip Hop, R&B, alternative - anything but country.
What is your nickname?
My friends call me Ker and my nephews sometimes call me Kerbear

2 Tattoos - A Dodger logo in pink with a number 20 instead of the baseball and a dolphin my best
friend and I both got on my 18th birthday; and I have my ears pierced.

Name three things you can’t live without?
