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.

The Vancouver Canadians outfielder — selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2023 MLB Draft out of Kent State University — arrived at High-A with legitimate tools, a polished collegiate résumé, and a last name that carries real weight in baseball circles.

His father, Sean Casey, spent 12 seasons in the major leagues as one of the game’s most respected hitters and clubhouse presences, earning the nickname “The Mayor” for his approachable, community-first personality. Jake carries that same warmth, but when he broke a hamate bone in his right hand in his very first game of the season — requiring surgery in Philadelphia and sidelining him for the first two months of the year — the debut became a test of patience, trust and mental fortitude. Casey met that challenge head-on. After rehabbing carefully through the spring, he rejoined the Canadians roster and has looked comfortable back in the batter’s box and the outfield — getting reps in both center and left field. Tyler Zickel sat down with Casey in the dugout at the Canadians’ ballpark to talk about the injury, the rehab, the lessons his father has passed down, and what he hopes to accomplish before the final out of the 2025 season.

THE BOX ITH JAKE CASEY Tyler Zickel: Welcome back, Jake. What a week. Nice to have you back on the roster. We had you for a very short stint to start the year before the baseball gods had a different plan for the first two months of your first season in High-A. Let’s jump right into it — tell us what you were looking forward to heading into this season, and then we’ll talk about the injury.

Jake Casey: Breaking camp in High-A was one of my main goals, and when I did that, it was awesome. But obviously, for everyone wondering, I broke my hamate bone in my right hand — it required surgery. I played one game in Tri City, hurt it, went in for surgery in Philadelphia, and just got back this week. The expectations were high going into the season. I was really looking forward to playing

every day, getting to know these guys, and being around the team. I had a little setback, but now we’re back.

TZ: Some might argue that this past two months, as difficult as it was, could benefit you more in the long run than had you stayed healthy at maybe 80 percent. What was that rehab process like, and how did you keep yourself focused on the goal of getting back?

JC: Great question. The training staff did a great job back at the complex, and we really made sure I was 100 percent before I started playing again. We took our time because, as a hitter, you need your hand. We wanted it fully healthy — no pain, no pushing through anything. They wanted me back to my normal self.

TZ: It would be easy to try and rush back and say you’re good to VANCOUVER CANADIANS 2026 / 23

go when maybe you know deep down that you’re not. Now that you’re fully active, is there anything you’re doing differently to protect the injury going forward?

JC: With a hamate injury, it’s actually kind of an interesting one — all they do is take out the bone, so you physically can’t re-injure that same bone. So I’m not necessarily worried about re-injuring it. It’s more about maintenance — icing it when it gets sore, using rest days wisely. And honestly, a big part of it is just getting back to baseball shape. People might not realize how different that is from regular fitness. You’re on your feet all day, running on and off the field, going through pregame warmups.

Taking care of my legs, getting in the cold tub, stretching, lifting — that’s all part of the equation.

TZ: People see the game between the lines, but they don’t always appreciate how much physical and mental work goes into each day’s preparation — and how that adds up over a six-month season. You probably had a decent head start on that knowledge, between your great seasons at Kent State and, of course, having your dad around. Did those things give you an extra step coming into the pro ranks?

JC: For sure. I’m very blessed to have my dad in my life — both as a father and right now in my career as a mentor. He played 12 years in the big leagues and he’s been through it all. One thing he really stresses is having a routine, because baseball can

feel very repetitive. You’re going to the field every day doing the same things, and he always says to fall in love with the process and the routine. He has this expression: ‘stay underwater and don’t come up till the season’s over.’ It’s a metaphor for staying in the routine and not looking too far ahead — just being in the present moment and trying to dominate every single day.

TZ: This week you’ve had a chance to get back at the plate and into the outfield. Have there been any moments where you’ve had to slow yourself down and say, ‘Hey, I don’t need to make up for lost time or try to be a player I’m not’?

JC: For sure. When you change environments, there’s an adjustment — not just facing different competition, but going from playing in front of nobody to playing in front of a lot of people. You really have to focus on calming your nerves and controlling the process. Staying focused on your pitch, your breath, your plan. There have definitely been some at-bats where I’ve been a little amped up with the crowd going, but that’ll come with experience.

Honestly, it’s just way better playing in this environment. This is why you play baseball.

You want to be in the box with the game on the line. The biggest thing is getting used to that environment and embracing it.

TZ: Speaking of environments — one thing you didn’t get to experience to start this season was Nat Bailey Stadium. You have a two-week homestand coming up, Canada

Day at home, fireworks, the whole thing.

What have you heard about the Nat, and what are you looking forward to?

JC: I’ve heard only good things. The environment is awesome, the fans come out and show out, and they love to support the Canadians. The guys say the energy is great — they feed off it. And just playing for Vancouver in general, the whole city, the whole country — as an organization connected to the Blue Jays, it’s really cool.

I’m really looking forward to it.

TZ: Let’s finish with this — get in the crystal ball for a moment. You won’t have as many at-bats by the end of the season as you planned coming out of spring training.

But if we have this conversation again in early September, ideally at the start of a Northwest League Championship Series, what does a successful first year in High-A look like for you?

JC: Great question. I don’t want to get too caught up in the results — home runs, batting average, stats like that. What I really want is to look back and say that every day I contributed to winning baseball and got better in some way. Hopefully I’ve improved my standing in the organization and been the best version of myself for my teammates, these coaches, and the Canadians fans. And at the end of the day, we all want to win a championship. That’s the goal. I know these guys are process-oriented and present in the moment, but when you get to the end of the season, that’s what you’re working toward.

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.

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.

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 5

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.

ballpark — from a bitter and brilliant Satchel Paige in a near-empty clubhouse, to Hall of Fame managers nursing beers in the press room long after the final out, to a sullen Duke Snider won over by a stack of old magazines. Along the way, he reflects on what made baseball, above all other sports, the natural home of storytelling.

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.

“He said he’s in the clubhouse,” Robson recalled. “So I go in and there are two people there — a trainer and Satchel Paige. The rest of the team is out doing batting practice.”

In this latest excerpt from his final interview, Robson recalls the figures who left the deepest impressions during his years at the

Part Five: Characters, Stories and the Press Room Asked about the people who stood out during his years at Capilano Stadium — not necessarily the famous names, but those who left a lasting mark on his experience — Robson began with one of the most celebrated figures in baseball history.

“I’ll start with Satchel Paige,” he said.

Paige was pitching for the Portland Beavers on a Sunday afternoon in Vancouver, near the very end of a career that had spanned decades and two entirely different eras of professional baseball. Robson guessed he was in his early fifties. Armed with a reel-to-reel tape machine, Robson went to the Portland dugout well before game time and asked manager Tommy Heath if he could speak with Paige.

Paige agreed to an interview. What followed was, by Robson’s account, remarkable.

“He was very bitter,” Robson said. “He talked about how badly the Black players were treated, how long it took to get to the Baseball Hall of Fame, how he finally got to the major leagues with the Cleveland VANCOUVER CANADIANS 2026 / 37

Indians after all those years pitching in the Negro Leagues. It was a terrific interview.”

from the fridge, pocket them, and head for the team bus.

Ron Robinson aired it between innings on their baseball broadcast. But the tape — a reel-to-reel recording of one of the great voices of the game speaking candidly about race, injustice and a career deferred — was never preserved.

“But the manager would stay,” Robson said, “because somebody in the crowd would take the manager back to the hotel. And that’s where the stories came out.”

“Ron kept the reel for other interviews at other times,” Robson said, with a pause that made the loss plain. “We never kept the interview with Satchel Paige.”

The Press Room Across the hall from the Capilano Stadium offices, there was a press room. After games, the media would gather there, and the visiting manager — and sometimes the Vancouver manager, along with others connected to the game — would come in to unwind. It was, Robson said, where baseball really happened.

“My wife probably wondered why I got home at 11:30 when the game ended at 10,” he said with a laugh. “Because the guys all went to the press room.”

The names that passed through that room were extraordinary. Warren Spahn managed in the Coast League. Duke Snider managed in the Coast League. Hall of Famers, legends of the game, sitting in a modest room across from the offices at Capilano Stadium, sharing stories late into the night. Mostly they came through as managers, though occasionally as players winding down at the end of long careers.

Not everyone lingered for conversation.

Robson remembered Dusty Rhodes — a hero of the Giants’ World Series run in the early 1950s, by then a sort of playing-coach with Tacoma — who would stop into the press room, help himself to two or three beers 38 / VANCOUVER CANADIANS 2026

Robson reflected on why baseball, more than any other sport, seemed to generate this kind of storytelling.

“Baseball — maybe it’s the pace of the game or something — it just lends itself to storytelling,” he said. “All sports have their history and their stories. But baseball’s different.”

Five Copies of Sport Magazine Among the Hall of Famers who managed in the Pacific Coast League, Duke Snider left a particular impression — though not immediately a warm one. Snider had just finished his playing career with the Dodgers and was managing their Spokane farm club.

He was, by Robson’s account, not enjoying it.

“I’d go down to the dugout to get the lineups — that was always my first move at the ballpark,” Robson said. “Get the visiting lineup off the wall, then go over and get the Vancouver lineup for my scorebook. But Duke was just sitting there, not very outgoing.”

The next time Spokane came to town, Robson arrived at the dugout with five copies of Sport Magazine — each one featuring Snider on the cover. He had boxes of the old issues in his basement.

“Boy, did that change things,” Robson said.

“He started looking through them and saying, ‘Wow, I don’t even remember this.’ And right away he warmed up.”

Others left their mark through sheer longevity and excellence at the minor league level. George Bamberger, a pitcher Robson

remembered fondly, went 68 and two-thirds innings without issuing a walk during his time in the Coast League — and once told Robson that he had made more money pitching in the minor leagues than he ever earned in the majors.

A Reporter, Not an Entertainer For all the remarkable people he encountered, Robson was clear about his own approach. He was a reporter, not a socializer — someone who described the game rather than chased stories off the field.

“I never really socialized with the players,” he said. “I just thought of myself as a reporter rather than a guy digging up scoops. I wasn’t much of a man for that.”

His longtime colleague Tom Larscheid — a celebrated football broadcaster in his own right — used to challenge him on precisely this point.

“Tom would get so frustrated with me,” Robson recalled. “He’d say, ‘Loosen up.

This is not World War III. We are in the entertainment business.’”

Robson smiled at the memory.

“And I’d say, ‘Oh, is that right? I didn’t know that.’” He paused. “And he’s right, of course. That’s the way it is now. A lot of the commentators are entertainers. But it wasn’t that way when I came up — old school, especially when you did baseball on your own.”

It was, in many ways, a summation of the man himself: someone who had shared a room with Satchel Paige, handed Duke Snider his own magazine covers, and spent countless late nights listening to legends in a press room long since gone — and who had never once thought of any of it as anything other than doing his job.

Short-A pennant giveaway FIRST 1,000 fans

VANCOUVER CANADIANS 2026 / 43

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
