Morris Mott was born in Creelman, Saskatchewan on May 25, 1946. Mott started his baseball career playing for his hometown from little leagues up until senior. For his tremendous skill throughout his career with Creelman, Mott was inducted into the Saskatchewan baseball Hall of Fame in 2002 as a player. Following his time with Creelman, Mott moved to Winnipeg and played with the Elmwood Giants in 1980. In 1991, he began to coach his children’s minor baseball teams. A few years later, in 1995, Mott was involved in the establishment of the Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame. He was heavily involved in many of the induction banquets since the establishment of the Hall, and for well over 25 years he made the souvenir programs for the Banquet. Mott was chairman of the Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame board of directors in 2013, and then continued to lead the board for many years afterwards.
