ROAD TO THE SHOW
The Canadians are a part of the Toronto Blue Jays organization. The C’s are a High A affiliate of the Blue Jays. That means they are in the middle of the Toronto farm system, slightly higher than the Dunedin Blue Jays (Low A) and the Gulf Coast Blue Jays (Rookie). Baseball players work their way up through the organization in hopes of getting to the big leagues. Toronto is in the American League and pulls its talent from these teams.

KING AND HERNANDEZ SWEEP NWL WEEKLY AWARDS 10 SCORELESS INNINGS AND TWO WINS FOR KING, BIG WEEK AT THE DISH FOR HERNANDEZ RACK UP MORE HARDWARE FOR C’S
Minor League Baseball has named Canadians right-hander Johnny King as the Northwest League Pitcher of the Week and outfielder Alexis Hernandez as the Northwest League Player of the Week for July 27-August 2. It's the first weekly honours of their professional career and the 10th and 11th time a Canadian has earned a league award this season. That’s the most weekly recognition for one team in the circuit this year. King, 20, was outstanding in two starts during the week, earning victories on July 28 and August 2. The right-hander combined to throw 10.0 scoreless innings while allowing just five hits and five walks with 11 strikeouts. The #3 Blue Jays prospect’s latest victory also saw him reach a Northwest League-leading 107 strikeouts this season, establishing a new single-season career high. King continues to rank among the league's premier starting pitchers while helping anchor Vancouver's rotation during the stretch run. Hernandez, 23, paced Vancouver's offence in five games during the week by collecting seven hits, including three doubles and two home runs. He scored six runs, drove in nine and accumulated 16 total bases while adding three walks. His second home run of the week was his team-leading 14th of the season, tied for the eighth most in the Northwest League. The long ball also established a new single-season career high, further cementing his breakout campaign at the plate. VANCOUVER CANADIANS 2026 / 23

JOSE
MAYORGA
17
MANAGER After leading the C’s to a 75-win season in 2025 – the second-most regular season wins for the club this millennium – and a franchise-record 11-game winning streak, Jose Mayorga is back on the top step in the home dugout. Mayorga has been managing in the Blue Jays system since 2022. He spent two seasons at the helm for the FCL Blue Jays then managed Single-A Dunedin to a 69-61 record in 2024, the club’s best mark since 2019. The Pueblo Nuevo, Panama native was also the bench coach for the C’s in 2018. Mayorga brings a championship pedigree to Vancouver, leading the Federales de Chiriqui to back-to-back Panamanian Professional Baseball League titles in 202223 and 2023-24. The latter squad went 5-1 in the 2024 Caribbean Series and placed third in the tournament. Mayorga returned to Los Federales this offseason and will be the head man for Panama at this year’s World Baseball Classic. As a player, Mayorga was a catcher in the Philadelphia Phillies system from 2010 to 2015.

MATT
VON ROEMER

BENCH COACH von Roemer is back as Mayorga’s right-hand man, continuing his impressive rise as a professional coach since joining the Blue Jays as an intern in 2019. Among many team highlights in 2025, he celebrated his first win as a pro manager when he filled in during Mayorga’s paternity leave. He has rapidly ascended the organizational ranks, first as Technology Operations Coordinator then as Double-A New Hampshire’s development coach in 2023 before making his bench coach debut on Mayorga’s staff with Single-A Dunedin last year. The Kendall Park, NJ native played collegiately at Kenyon College from 2015 to 2018, slashing .366/.416/.503 with a .919 OPS in 147 games played across four seasons with the Lords (now known as the Owls).
ERIC
YARDLEY
29
PITCHING COACH Eric Yardley returns to the same role he thrived in last year, shepherding the likes of ranked Blue Jays prospects Trey Yesavage, Gage Stanifer and Fernando Perez as part of one of the Northwest League’s best pitching staffs. A native of Richland, WA, the former right-handed reliever posted a career ERA of 3.52 in 53.2 innings of work across 51 MLB games. Yardley also logged Triple-A innings with the Cubs and Blue Jays in 2022. He joined the coaching ranks last season and served as Double-A New Hampshire’s bullpen coach.
JONATHAN
DAVIS
11
HITTING COACH Former big leaguer Jonathan Davis will work with the hitters this season after joining the C’s staff in the same role in the second half last year. Originally drafted by Toronto in the 15th round of the 2013 draft out of Central Arkansas, Davis stopped in Vancouver in 2014 then continued up the ladder until he made his MLB debut on September 5, 2018. He appeared in 102 games across four seasons with the Blue Jays then was picked up by the Yankees, where he wrapped up the 2021 campaign. He signed with Milwaukee in 2022 then spent his final big league season with Miami in 2023. After retiring as a player, he joined Single-A Dunedin’s coaching staff in 2024.
TOMMY
CAULFIELD
13
ASSISTANT PITCHING COACH Tommy Caulfield makes his High-A debut as Assistant Pitching Coach after his first professional season in the same role with Double-A New Hampshire a year ago. He joined the Jays after coaching at Saint Mary’s College for two years. The Burlingame, CA played collegiately at Skyline College and Chicago State before transferring to the University of San Francisco then spent three seasons in the Pioneer League and Frontier League. He ended his playing days with the Spire City Ghost Hounds in the MLB-Partner Atlantic League.
PETR
STŘÍBRCKÝ
14
POSITION COACH Petr Stříbrcký returns to the C’s for his second High-A season after serving in the same role last year. The Blansko, Czech Republic native has played and coached all over the world, including an eight-year stint as the director of the Portuguese Baseball Academy. Stříbrcký joined Toronto’s organization as the hitting coach of the DSL Blue Jays in 2019 and returned to that role in 2021 before arriving stateside as the development coach of the FCL Blue Jays in 2022. He was promoted to Single-A Dunedin in 2023 and spent two seasons with the D-Jays.

PART SIX: A BALLGAME AND A BABY GIRL
A LEGEND REMEMBERS:
JIM ROBSON’S FINAL INTERVIEW Last autumn, legendary sportscaster Jim Robson sat down with the Vancouver Canadians as part of the club’s 75th anniversary celebration series, reflecting on decades of baseball memories in Vancouver. It would prove to be one of the final extended interviews of his remarkable career. Robson passed away on February 9, 2026 at the age of 91, leaving behind a broadcasting legacy woven into the fabric of sports in British Columbia. In this latest excerpt from his final interview, Robson turns to the summer of 1957 — the season that launched him into play-by-play baseball — and to a night the following year when the biggest story of his career and the biggest story of his life happened within hours of each other. He also reflects, with the candor of hindsight, on what the job cost him at home. Robson’s baseball broadcasting career began in 1957, under the guidance of a boss he still credits for giving him his start. “Bill Stevenson was very fair with me,” Robson said. Stevenson was the sports director who hired Robson as an assistant to cover football, hockey and baseball, and who handled much of the play-by-play work himself. Robson was stationed in Port Alberni at the time, and while most young broadcasters climbed the ladder faster, he stayed there for four years — which, he said, was no hardship. The basketball alone made it worthwhile: Elgin Baylor played two games at the old Alberni Athletic Hall during Robson’s time there. But it was baseball, under Stevenson, that would define the next chapter of his career. 1957 was his first season calling the game.
Breaking In Stevenson eased Robson into the booth gradually. He would call the first three innings himself, hand the microphone to Robson for the middle three, then take back the last three innings to close out the broadcast. In between, Robson would race back to the radio station to deliver the late-night sports report. It was, in effect, an apprenticeship broadcast in real time — and it worked. Before long, Robson was calling entire games on his own, particularly whenever Stevenson was away at football training camp in Kelowna. By late July of 1958, Robson was handling the baseball beat largely by himself, in the middle of a tight pennant race against Phoenix. VANCOUVER CANADIANS 2026 / 33
A Ballgame and a Baby Girl
A Note of Regret
It was during that pennant race that Robson’s two lives — the ballpark and the family waiting at home — collided on the same July night. His wife was expecting, and the couple was living in a rented duplex in Kitsilano when she told him it was time to go to the hospital.
The pace Robson kept in those early years never really let up. He worked baseball through the summer and, every March, spent his vacation time covering the BC Boys High School basketball tournament, calling the feature game each night of the event.
“We get in our 1957 Chev and drive to VGH, and I drop off my wife at the maternity ward,” Robson recalled. “And I go to the ballpark. I’ll do the game.”
Looking back on those years from a distance of decades, Robson didn’t soften the toll it took.
Pete Burnside, a former Detroit Tiger, was pitching for Phoenix that night. Vancouver countered with a lineup that included a popular Black catcher named Charlie White and a Black center fielder, Lenny Green — not to be confused with a white pitcher on the roster who shared a similar name, Carl Green. It was White who delivered the moment that decided the game, driving a home run over the rightfield wall in the ninth inning to win it, 4–3. Robson called it, went home to the duplex, and went to bed. The phone rang around 11:30 that night. It was Dr. Shier. “He said, ‘Your wife has just had a healthy baby girl. You can come up and see them at the VGH,’” Robson said. He got dressed and drove back to the hospital just after midnight, visiting briefly with his wife before a nurse held his daughter up for him to see through the nursery glass — the same night he had called a walk-off, pennant-race home run for a living.

“When I think back, I was so unfair to my wife because I put the job first,” he said. “And you know, people say, well, you put your family first, but I put the job first. That’s the way it was. And I guess a lot of guys in the media have done that.” He paused before adding, “I regret some of that.” It was, he said, simply the culture of the business at the time — particularly for anyone traveling with a professional sports team, let alone a baseball club that played more than eighty games on the road every year, from April through September. “It’s a fine dance,” Robson reflected, “and we’re reminded of our loved ones and the sacrifices they make, to be sure.” It was a rare moment of vulnerability from a broadcaster better known for his composure than his confessions — and a fitting close to a chapter that began with a home run and ended with a daughter. There was more to come, too: as the interview continued, Robson had one more note scrawled for himself. “Tell us about the riot,” he said. That story, still ahead.

WRITTEN BY: ALEXA LIPTAK
SIXTH-ROUND PICK ERIC SNOW HAS TURNED A WHIRLWIND PROMOTION INTO A BREAKOUT HIGH-A SEASON, HITTING .308 FOR VANCOUVER WHILE CHASING MORE POWER WITHOUT LOSING HIS CONTACT-FIRST IDENTITY Eric Snow's journey to Vancouver started with a rain delay, a three-hour drive through the night and a 5 a.m. pickup to catch a flight. A few months later, he's become one of the most consistent hitters for the Canadians. He started his baseball journey with T-ball like many young players; his love and seriousness for the game only grew from there. Growing up just outside Atlanta, in Forsyth, GA, he spent his childhood cheering on the Braves and watching infielders Dan Uggla and Dustin Pedroia, whom he looked up to model his game after because they ‘play the game hard and the right way’. By high school, baseball had become Snow's clear priority. When his school asked him to play quarterback, he declined to avoid the risk of injury.
DELAY CALL-UP TO ANS’ HOTTEST BAT Snow was recruited to play Baseball at the University of South Florida, where he spent his freshman and sophomore years, before attending Auburn for his junior season. At USF, Snow had a standout 2023 freshman season with a .327 average and 36 RBIs, earning him Freshman All-American honours, the American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year, and unanimous selection to the All-AAC First Team and All-Freshman Team. Snow endured a slight slump in 2024 before entering the transfer portal and getting a call from Auburn. “I couldn't have asked for a better place to start my career,” Snow said when talking about his college career. “Then I was fortunate to get a call from Auburn after hitting the transfer portal, and that was my dream school out of high school just because that's where my dad went, and his dad actually taught there. So it was kind of cool to follow those footsteps.” Snow continued to have a good college career at Auburn. Batting .307 against top-tier SEC pitching, with 34 RBIs and 8 home runs, would solidify his draft stock. In the sixth round of the 2025 draft, Snow got the call from the Toronto Blue Jays.
“I woke up day two knowing that something was likely to happen pretty early, and [then] I actually got the call, and I mean it's a surreal moment. You don't really take it all in right away, just knowing that it's something you dreamed of as a kid.” Snow said about his draft day experience. “30 minutes to an hour after is when it's kind of settled down. I was like, ‘Whoa,’ like, ‘I'm going to do something that I always dreamed of’” He made his pro debut after the draft with Dunedin, playing in 26 games with a .237 average; he returned to Single-A for 2026 and completely transformed his offensive impact. Over 43 games this season, he batted .285 with a .368 on-base percentage, pairing his elite plate discipline with 16 stolen bases and his first pro home run before he got the call that he was being promoted to Vancouver. In rainy Vancouver fashion, Snow got the news in the dugout during a rain delay: “[Ryan] Castillo called the team in and let me know that I was going up here, and it was actually a pretty hectic night. I had to drive back from Fort Myers for three hours at like 10:00 PM. Obviously get [to] my apartment and all that stuff figured out, and got picked up at 5:00 AM the next morning.” Snow said about his journey to Vancouver, “It was definitely a hectic night, but I mean, it was worth it, and I'm happy to be here.” VANCOUVER CANADIANS 2026 / 39

The Georgia native says the atmosphere in Vancouver is very different from playing in Florida, but he loves it. “I don't think it gets much better than playing in front of 6,000 every night.” However, Snow noted that with the new league, the competition is also better, but that is part of the excitement. Since earning his promotion to the Northwest League, Snow has quickly become a key contributor in the Canadians' lineup. The former sixth-round pick has shown that his elite contact skills have translated against advanced professional pitching, hitting .308 with a .374 on-base percentage through his first 36 games in Vancouver. Snow has also driven in 25 runs while swiping eight bases, bringing an all-around game to his play. "I'm a contact-first hitter, and I think that's something I really focused on and made a priority in college," Snow said. While contact remains the foundation of his game, Snow believes professional baseball has challenged him to become a more complete offensive player.
"Once getting to pro ball, I've kind of taken a step away from the contact portion because I think it's something I can always go back to," he said. "I'm just trying to create more intent, swing harder and increase my exit velocities. It'll be a slow process, but I'm excited for it." Snow continues to work on adding power to his game, but his identity as a player hasn't changed. "I'm always going to do anything to help the team win," Snow said. "After most games, my jersey and uniform are pretty dirty. That's probably the biggest characteristic that I bring to the field is just that dirt bag mentality that I'm gonna do whatever it takes.” With his first taste of High-A baseball off to a strong start, Snow is focused on continuing to develop every aspect of his game while helping the Canadians make a push down the stretch of the second half of the season. Few players have made a smoother first impression with the Vancouver Canadians this season than Eric Snow. Promoted to High-A after a standout first half with the
Dunedin Blue Jays, the Georgia native wasted little time proving he belonged, arriving in Vancouver with a disciplined offensive approach, an advanced feel for the strike zone, and the kind of defensive versatility that organizations covet. Through his first two weeks with the Canadians, Snow hit .333 while continuing to reach base at an impressive clip, providing stability at the top of the lineup and giving manager Brent Lavallee another reliable option across the infield. Snow's path to professional baseball has been anything but conventional. After beginning his collegiate career at the University of South Florida, he transferred to Auburn University, where he continued to develop into one of the SEC's most dependable middle infielders. The Toronto Blue Jays selected him in the sixth round of the 2024 MLB Draft, drawn by his mature offensive profile, exceptional batto-ball skills, baseball instincts, and ability to impact the game in multiple ways beyond simply collecting hits.

HOW TO SCORE A BASEBALL GAME Different fans have different methods of keeping a scorecard, and many use their own notations. But here's a simple method:
circle put the symbol of the play and/or the player that drove him in. For example, if the No. 5 hitter drives in two runs with a single, mark his single in the bottom right of his box and mark a circle with the number "5" in the boxes of the runners who score (Some people like to use uniform numbers here, so you can tell who did what, even after lineup changes).
For example, If the hitter grounds out to shortstop, for example, write in "6-3," which shows the shortstop threw him out at first base. If the hitter flies out to left field, write a "7." If the batter gets a hit, write in the hit according to which base he reached. Each corner of the box represents a base, with the lowerright corner being first.
At the end of each inning, total the hits and runs for that inning only. At the end of the game you'll be able to add the innings total to get the game score.
If he singles, put a "-" in the lower right. If he doubles, write a "=" in the upper right, and so on. For a walk, use "BB" in the lower right. As the runner advances, mark the appropriate symbol in the appropriate corner. If a runner scores, put a circle at the bottom of the box, and inside the
