 Vancouver Canadians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As a minor league baseball franchise (dating back to 1979 in Medford, OR), the Canadians have had players such as José Canseco, Rod Beck, Rickey Henderson, Scott Brosius, Jason Giambi, Tim Hudson and Miguel Tejada.
The current incarnation of the Canadians was established in 2000 after the AAA Canadians moved to Sacramento, California and became the Sacramento River Cats (which is now an affiliate of the Athletics; in Vancouver, the team partnered with the Los Angeles Angels, among others).
However, even though they were the final champions of the WIL, Vancouver was not part of its reformation into the Northwest League, due to the NWL's shedding of all of its Canadian teams in order to focus on the American Pacific Northwest.

 Vancouver Bands Presents "Jim Byrnes"
Byrnes studied acting at both Boston University and the University of St. Louis, and after years of drifting, doing odd jobs and playing music, he settled in Vancouver in the mid-1970s and became a permanent fixture on the local music scene.
A baseball aficionado, Byrnes was regularly spotted in his seat along the third baseline behind the Vancouver Canadians' dugout at Nat Bailey Stadium, where a number of times each season he would venture to the on-deck circle to sing the national anthems, and where his big, baritone voice turned more than one ballplayer's head.
Oh Canada and The Star Spangled Banner are songs guaranteed to get people on their feet, but it's on blues standards and his own compositions that Jim Byrnes really shines.
