NOLAN PERRY SHINES IN MAY
PERRY NAMED PITCHER OF THE MONTH
Minor League Baseball has named Canadians starter Nolan Perry as the Northwest League Pitcher of the Month for May after he went 3-1 with a 1.08 ERA, 40 strikeouts and nine walks in 25.0 innings across five starts. The right-hander led the league in ERA, strikeouts, strikeouts per nine innings (14.4) and was second in average (.186). His 40 Ks were fourth-most in MiLB and his month included an 18-inning scoreless streak. Perry is the second C’s player to earn a monthly award after Carter Cunningham was named the league’s top player for April.
Perry, 22, arrived on the roster May 3 after starring for Single-A Dunedin in April. He made his Canadians debut five days later in Eugene against the formidable Giants affiliate, tossing five frames of one-run ball – with the lone run coming on a solo homer –in which he scattered three hits, a walk and eight strikeouts. He followed that up with his first of three consecutive wins on May 14 at The Nat. The Carlsbad, NM native held Everett scoreless on three hits with three walks and 10 Ks that night then went back to work on May 20 in Spokane and earned NWL Pitcher of the Week honours with another five zeroes that saw him surrender just one and one walk with another 10 strikeouts.
He delivered the first quality start by a C’s pitcher this year on May 26 opposite Eugene when he contributed six shutout stanzas with four hits, a walk and eight punchouts in a game Vancouver won 3-0. His lone loss of the month came on May 31, but he still managed to get through four innings and allowed only two earned runs.
A 12th round pick in 2022 out of Carlsbad High School, Perry owns a cumulative season ERA of 1.37 with 72 Ks and a 0.85 WHIP in 46.0 innings across two levels. His next start is scheduled for Saturday, June 6 against the Tri-City Dust Devils in Pasco, WA.

THE VERSATILE INFIELDER IS MAKING HIS MARK IN VANCOUVER WITH THE SAME DRIVE TO IMPROVE THAT HAS DEFINED HIS GAME SINCE CHILDHOOD.
William ‘Dub’ Gleed, whose nickname stems from his great-grandfather, has spent most of his life with a baseball in his hand. The versatile infielder continues to establish his presence with the Vancouver Canadians with the same drive to always improve his game that began when he was young.
Born in Utah and having spent seven years of his childhood in Hawaii, Gleed thanks his parents for introducing him to sports at a young age.
“Ever since I could really walk, my parents had me playing all kinds of sports, not just baseball. So since I was pretty much born, I had a ball in my hand,” said Gleed. It was when he was 11 that he decided this could be a career path for him and shifted into solely playing baseball. Gleed spent many of his youth seasons as a shortstop, developing the athleticism and instincts that would later help him become a versatile infielder.
“Growing up, I played a lot of shortstop. I really liked Bo Bichette, funny enough, a former Blue Jay. I always felt like we were somewhat similar [in our] playing styles,” Gleed said about his youth baseball career.
BUILT ON IMPROVEMENT: DUB GLEED’S FIRST SEASON WITH THE CANADIANS
He played four years of prep ball at San Juan Hills High School, where he earned All-League honours twice, received Second Team All-CIF recognition, and maintained Scholar-Athlete status throughout all four years before committing to UC Irvine.
“As I got into college and pro ball, I like to model my game a lot from guys like Aaron Judge and Matt Chapman — premier defenders who can hit,” Gleed explained about evolving his game to model after major league players.
He spent three seasons at UC Irvine. During his freshman year, he made 45 starts and became a regular starter. In 2023, he hit .300
playing in all 55 games and starting in 54 of them. Gleed then went on to earn All-Big West Honourable Mention honours in 2024, batting .351 with six home runs and 35 RBIs. Despite dealing with injuries, he finished second in the conference with a .424 batting average in Big West play and delivered a memorable two-home-run game in the NCAA Regional Final.
Gleed was drafted in the ninth round of the 2024 draft by the Miami Marlins and sent to the Canadians via a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays in March 2026.
“Getting the call was kind of surreal. I was with my girlfriend. We
were driving to my High-A affiliate with the Marlins. We were at our halfway point in Nashville when we got the news out of Bucee’s [the famed truck stop],” he said about finding out about the trade. “I heard great things about Vancouver. When I was over at the PDC complex, everybody was saying Vancouver’s a great spot to be at, and luckily enough, this year there actually hasn’t been much rain that I’ve experienced.”
Gleed has spent time at third base, shortstop, and first base throughout the season and made defensive impacts at each position. At the plate, he has consistently put together quality at-bats.
“I would say hitting-wise, I feel like I take pride in always giving a quality at-bat. Then [defensively], I feel like I’m able to make an impact in the game at each position that I play,” Gleed explained.
Looking toward the rest of the season, a key focus for Gleed is his speed, as he hopes to further develop his running game, leading to more extra-base hits and stolen bases.
“I would say speed-wise, [I’m] just trying to get more athletic, get those extra bags, [and] steal some more bases, which the Blue Jays are already helping me do,” he said.
While his baseball journey has taken him across the continent, Gleed has also been learning to adjust to the daily grind of professional baseball.
Gleed’s keys to recharging after games are keeping things simple: staying at home, watching movies, enjoying good food, and staying connected with his family and friends, who are his biggest supporters.
“My girlfriend and my family, they’re my biggest fans, they’re my biggest supporters. I’m so grateful for everything they do and sacrifice for me, but they make it easy. They’re always a phone call away, always a FaceTime away, which is awesome,” Gleed added about what his support system means to him.
While recovery is a key part of the game, players’ pre-game routines are essential and start long before the first pitch. Gleed’s routine changes depending on the game’s start time.
“For a night game, just kind of getting simple work in with hitting, fielding, getting the body going,” Gleed noted. “Then I’ll get a meal in and prep my body for the game.”
For the day games and ‘Nooners at The Nat, his preparations are more streamlined as
there is less time.
A pre-game routine wouldn’t be set without a pregame meal to ensure players are fueled up for the action. Gleed shared one of his personal favourites in Vancouver.
“I really like the Greek food that we’ve been getting. The shredded lamb with some tzatziki and some pita bread.”
Off the field and away from his routines, Gleed shared a few of his favourite smaller details of the game. For walk-up songs, his top choice is the reggae track “Sixteen Tons of Pressure” by O.B.F and Charlie P, a song that he has been using this season.
As for uniforms, Gleed’s favourite Canadians jersey is the Nat Bailey Stadium-inspired alternate.
“The Nat one’s a good-looking jersey,” Gleed commented.
As Gleed continues to develop his game in the Blue Jays organization, the same passion that first drew him to baseball remains at the centre of everything he does. Whether he’s taking pride in a quality at-bat or working to become more athletic on the bases, Gleed’s focus remains on improving every day and helping the C’s bring home some wins.

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.

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

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

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
ASSISTANT PITCHING COACH

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.
Born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, on January 17, 1935, James Alexander Robson found his way to a microphone at just 17 years old, joining CJAV radio in Port Alberni to cover senior men’s basketball. By 1956, he had made his way to Vancouver and CKWX, where he called games for the BC Lions, the Vancouver Mounties of the Pacific Coast Baseball League — predecessors to the modern-day Canadians — and the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Canucks. When Vancouver was granted an NHL expansion franchise in 1970, Robson moved to CKNW and never looked back. For nearly three decades, his voice was the soundtrack of Canucks hockey: two Stanley Cup Final runs in 1982 and 1994, four Finals on Hockey Night in Canada, five NHL All-Star Games, and more than 2,000 NHL games called without ever missing a broadcast due to illness. The Hockey Hall of Fame honoured him with the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award in 1992. He was inducted into the BC Hockey Hall of Fame in 1998, the BC Sports Hall of Fame in 2000, and the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2002. He was appointed to the Order of British Columbia in 2011. The broadcast gondola at Rogers Arena bears his name.
Long before he became synonymous with the Vancouver Canucks and Hockey Night in Canada, Robson was immersed in baseball. From the old ballparks of Vancouver to the Pacific Coast League’s golden era, he witnessed firsthand the evolution of professional baseball in the city. Across more than seven decades behind the microphone, Robson developed a gift for storytelling rooted not only in statistics and scores, but in people, atmosphere and memory.
In this latest excerpt from his final interview, Robson reflects on returning to the ballpark as a fan, the joy of reconnecting with players
and supporters from a bygone era, and a memorable night when the entire ballpark — players, umpires and press box alike — was brought to a standstill by something none of them had ever seen before.
Part Four: Box Seats, Old Friends, and a Meteorite
More than sixty years after first calling games from the press box at Capilano Stadium, Jim Robson still finds his way to the ballpark. In recent years, he has watched the Vancouver Canadians from a set of box seats directly behind home plate — a gift arranged by team president Jeff Mooney for Robson’s 85th birthday.
“I thought it was just for the one season,” Robson said, “but every year now Alan Bailey or somebody calls me and says your tickets are here — and I get to the ballpark as quick as I can before they change their mind.”
The seats, he noted with characteristic dry wit, offer an ideal vantage point for critiquing the umpires.
“You really could umpire from those seats,” he said. “You can see the missed calls on the outside pitch.”
Robson acknowledged with a laugh that his profile as the legendary voice of the Canucks sometimes makes a quiet evening at the ballpark a challenge — though he seemed genuinely touched by the recognition.
“I’m an old man and I’ve been retired for 26 years,” he said. “A lot of the fans wouldn’t know who I am. But the older ones know. The ushers know.”
On one occasion this past season, sitting alongside broadcaster
Greg Douglas, Robson was visited by Ozzie Chavarria, an outstanding player with the 1966 Vancouver Mounties who had played third base and infield for the club. In the final game of that season — a meaningless year-ender — Chavarria had played all nine positions.
“Ozzie married a local lady and stayed here,” Robson said. “He’s still alive, at George Darby home. He contributed a lot to the Burnaby sports community — in soccer and in baseball.”
Sitting in those seats, Robson said, has a way of bringing the past back to life — not only through visitors, but through the simple act of watching the game unfold from a vantage point he spent so many years describing for others.
Life in the Press Box
The difference between watching from the stands and working from the press box is considerable, Robson acknowledged. Up on the roof at Capilano Stadium, a different kind of theatre played out.
“I did the broadcasts with Ron Robinson sitting alongside me,” Robson recalled. “On my right, there was a little window you slid back to talk to the official scorer, Clancy Loranger. If it was a base hit, he’d give you
the thumbs up. If he was calling it an error, he’d give you the thumbs down.”
The scoring decisions were not always made quietly. Robson remembered one particular play that sparked a debate across the press box, with Clancy Loranger polling the assembled reporters for their opinions.
In the middle of the deliberation, a Tacoma sportswriter named Ed Honeywell — from the Tacoma News Tribune, known locally as the TNT — emerged from the bathroom, trousers still at half-mast, and rendered his verdict.
“Sounded like a hit to me,” Robson recalled Honeywell saying. “Must have been a Tacoma batter.”
The Night of the Meteorite
For all the memorable moments Robson witnessed over his years at the ballpark, few could match the sheer strangeness of one night during the 1962 season — a game that came to an abrupt and bewildering halt when something appeared in the sky above the North Shore mountains.
The 1962 club featured a number of Latin American players in the lineup — José Valdivieso, Raymond Webster, Ray Mendoza among them — and the game was underway when, without warning, the players began
streaming off the field and running for the dugouts. The umpire looked skyward and followed.
“I’m trying to describe what’s happening,” Robson said, “and I guessed wrong — I thought it was a swarm of bees. But it was nighttime. There aren’t any bees.”
He slid open the little window to check in with the press box — and found it deserted. Every reporter had run out onto the roof. Ron Robinson left the broadcast booth and joined them.
“A meteorite was coming over the North Shore mountains,” Robson said, “and it was heading right for Capilano Stadium.”
It ultimately landed near Penticton, well short of Vancouver, but the sight of a fireball streaking across the night sky was enough to empty the field entirely. Players scattered in all directions. Umpires ran. The press box emptied.
“That,” Robson said with a smile, “was the night of the meteorite that never landed.”
It was, in many ways, a fitting story from a man who spent more than seven decades at the microphone: unexpected, perfectly observed, and told with the ease of someone who had simply seen more of the game — in all its forms — than almost anyone else alive.

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: 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.
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
1ST INNING

2. WALKED, LATER FORCED OUT, SHORTSTOP TO SECOND BASE

Umpires use a number of signals. Some of these are familiar and are associated with the Rules of Baseball, like safe, out, foul, etc. These are a few you are likely to see when scoring a game.
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).
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.
