The Missoula PaddleHeads, formerly known as the Osprey, are the local minor league baseball team in Missoula. They bring professional sports and entertainment to our community throughout the summer. The team is associated with the major league team, the Arizona Diamondbacks. 

 

This week’s speaker is Brett Shure, stadium operations manager for the PaddleHeads. Brett will give us a preview of the upcoming season, as well as longer-term plans for the team and its role in Missoula. 

 

Brett was born in Orlando, Florida, and attended Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he played baseball all four years as a pitcher. He relocated to Missoula in 2019 to work for the Osprey as their operations assistant, staying on as the team made the transition to the PaddleHeads.
