| | 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. |
