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.

SPE FROM THE IOW 22 / VANCOUVER CANADIANS 2026

TYLER ZICKEL CATCHES UP WITH VANCOUVER CANADIANS FIRST BASEMAN PEYTON WILLIAMS THE MORNING AFTER HIS WALK-OFF HEROICS TO DISCUSS HIS CLUTCH MOMENT, NAVIGATING A CHANGE IN ASSIGNMENT, HIS ROLE AS A CLUBHOUSE VETERAN, AND WHAT HE SEES AHEAD FOR THE SECOND-HALF CANADIANS. Peyton Williams doesn’t seek the spotlight — but he has a way of finding it anyway. The Iowa-born first baseman has been one of the steadiest presences in the Toronto Blue Jays’ minor league system over the past several seasons, building a reputation as a polished hitter with plus power, sure hands at first base, and an even-keeled demeanor that makes him a natural anchor in any clubhouse. Williams broke into pro ball after being drafted by the Blue Jays and worked his way through the system with quiet consistency, including a full season in Double-A with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats in 2024. This year brought a different kind of journey — a reassignment to High-A Vancouver by way of Low-A Dunedin — but Williams took it in stride, arriving in Vancouver and picking up right where he left off: hitting the ball hard, playing dependable defense, and leading without having to announce it. On June 30, he gave the sellout crowd at Nat Bailey Stadium exactly what they came for. With the Canadians trailing and the game on the line in the ninth inning, Williams stepped in against Eugene’s high-octane closer and scorched a hit into the left-center gap, plating the tying and winning runs in one swing. The morning after, C’s broadcaster Tyler Zickel sat down with Williams to walk through the at-bat, talk about his role on the team, and look ahead at what the second half of the season might hold for one of the organization’s most quietly indispensable players.

ECIAL DELIVERY WA MEAT TRUCK This interview has been lightly edited for clarity.

Tyler Zickel: Let’s go back to last night. The Canadians were down five-nothing at one point — no runs, no hits, no men on base after Eugene’s starter looked sharp through the first three innings.

Eventually you found your way back into it, and then in the ninth inning you came up with the tying and winning runs on base against Liam Simon, a tough closer with a high-octane fastball. Can you take me through what you were thinking leading up to that at-bat?

Peyton Williams: I was on deck while Eric Snow was up. He got to a 3-0 count, then got a strike called, and honestly I was glad he got that strike — it meant I could get up there ready to go on the first pitch.

If it had been a four-pitch walk, I’d have probably been taking until I got a strike. Then they went out for a mound visit before I stepped in. After a mound visit, most pitching coaches are going to tell the guy, ‘Your stuff is really good, just get in the zone, get ahead early.’ So in my head, I figured he was probably coming with a fastball in the zone. That’s exactly what I was looking for, and I just tried not to do too much.

TZ: Our hitting coach JD told me after the game that you were looking to go the other way — and that seemed to be exactly what happened as you scorched one into the left-center gap.

PW: Yeah, against a guy throwing that hard, the worst thing you can do is try to fight fire with fire. You don’t need to swing as hard. So I was thinking fastball the other way — and he also has a firm slider, so if he threw that I figured I could catch it and pull it. The whole thought process was: stay under control, calm swing, go the other way.

TZ: We’ve known each other since 2023, so shame on me for not knowing this — had you hit a walk-off before last night as a Canadian?

PW: I think I’ve hit one before. I know I hit one back in ‘23 — and I think it was also against the Emeralds. It might have actually been a game that clinched something.

TZ: Whether it’s a walk-off single, a walk-off homer, or even a walk-off walk, there’s something special about being the man in the arena in that moment. You’re someone I know to be an even-keeled guy who lets his play do the talking. How do you keep your motor running at VANCOUVER CANADIANS 2026 / 23

24 / VANCOUVER CANADIANS 2026

a calm level when the pressure is mounting and the crowd is right there with you?

PW: I think the big thing is that a lot of guys in that moment want to be the hero — and you can’t blame them, everyone wants that moment. But what you have to remember is that being the hero doesn’t have to mean hitting a home run. You can be the hero by just getting the next guy. It was a massive effort from Valley, Jr., and Snow to all get up and give me that opportunity — especially Jr. working a walk after getting down early, and Snow being patient in the box. Snow could have easily tried to yank one and go for two on a double. The key in those situations is just knowing that the most important thing you can do is pass the baton. When you have that mindset, that’s when big things can happen.

TZ: Let’s talk about this season overall. It’s been a bit of a different path through the organization for you — you spent all of last year in Double-A with the Fisher Cats, and this year you went to Dunedin, raked, and came up here. You’ve continued to produce across every facet of the game. What has the messaging from the Blue Jays been, and how have you internalized it to stay focused on just doing you?

PW: The big thing is I don’t really think about where I’m at. I just keep playing. The organization communicated that I might not have gotten as much time on the field in New Hampshire, so they wanted to find a place where I could play more. And that was all I needed to hear. I don’t care where it’s at — as long as I have a place to play and

I’m getting opportunities, I have a chance.

No excuses. It’s all on me to go out there and keep producing.

TZ: Something I found interesting about your stint here this year is that the home runs didn’t come until the road trip — you actually tripled before you hit your first homer, 35 games in. But maybe that’s a testament to your approach: going up there with a plan, taking what the pitcher gives you.

PW: Yeah, when you start thinking about home runs, that’s probably when you start swinging at bad pitches. When you try to force it, things go sideways. You just have to let them happen. There’s probably going to be a stretch this season where I hit five or six in two weeks. The start of the year was just a slow stretch for home runs — that’s baseball.

It happens.

TZ: I know you’d be the last guy to call yourself a leader, but from where I sit a lot of guys on this team look up to you and respect you — both as a player and as a person. Does that weigh on you at all? Is there anything you consciously do to fill that role?

PW: I think it’s mostly just about actions. I have a lot more experience in pro ball than almost everyone here, and I’ve been through a lot of situations. So guys can come to me, ask me questions, and I’ve usually seen something similar before. I think what guys appreciate is that I’ve been here, I’ve done it, and I’ve been someone who’s been able to sustain it over a full season. I try to just have the right approach to everything and let that speak for itself.

TZ: We’ve got as many Iowans on this roster as we do native Canadians — you and Reese Wissinger holding it down for the Hawkeye State. Iowa isn’t traditionally thought of as a baseball hotspot, but it seems like more and more players from there are making their way into affiliated ball. What’s it like having a fellow Iowan out here with you?

PW: It’s great that Iowa is getting more attention as a baseball state. Reese and I never played against each other in high school — I’m a few years older — but it’s fun to swap stories, talk about the people we’ve played with and against, and find all the connections you make through a career. It’s a cool thing to share.

TZ: Last one — give me your vibe check on this team. The first half had a lot of individual standout performances, but the wins and losses weren’t always there. Last night felt like a microcosm of what this group is capable of. What’s your veteran perspective on the clubhouse right now and where this team is headed between now and September?

PW: The big thing I’ve noticed is that every day guys are showing up ready — happy to be here, excited for the game. Nobody is walking in thinking we have no chance. Everyone is coming in with the mindset that we’re going to win. Sure, after a rough game some guys can be a little down, but for the most part the vibes are always good coming in. I think a big part of that has been guys like Shaw and Snow hitting really well right when they first got here. That kind of sparked everybody, and the whole group has been able to build off of it.

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

15

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 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.

A CONVERSATION 42 / VANCOUVER CANADIANS 2026

CHRIS GEORGES CATCHES UP WITH VANCOUVER CANADIANS INFIELDER ERIC SNOW TO DISCUSS HIS HOT START IN HIGH-A, ADJUSTING TO LIFE IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, THE VALUE OF VERSATILITY, AND THE STEADY APPROACH THAT HAS FUELED HIS RISE THROUGH THE BLUE JAYS ORGANIZATION. 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 bat-to-ball skills, baseball instincts, and ability to impact the game in multiple ways beyond simply collecting hits.

SNOW DAY:

WITH ERIC SNOW Those qualities have carried over into professional baseball. Whether it's drawing walks, stealing bases, making consistent contact, or moving seamlessly between second base, shortstop, and third base, Snow has quickly built a reputation as a player whose value extends well beyond the box score. His game is rooted in preparation, consistency, and an unwavering commitment to helping his team win.

With the Canadians enjoying one of the best atmospheres in Minor League Baseball and Snow experiencing the Pacific Northwest for the first time, Chris Georges sat down with the 22-year-old infielder to discuss his transition to Vancouver, learning from baseball's biggest stars, and why staying present remains the foundation of his approach.

This interview has been lightly edited for clarity.

Chris Georges: Eric, thanks for taking the time. You're just getting your feet wet here in High-A, and you've gotten off to a terrific start.

What's been clicking for you since the promotion?

Eric Snow: I think it's all about the preparation before the game and then trusting that work once the game starts. I'm not trying to do too much. At the end of the day, I'm just trying to do whatever I can to help the team win.

CG: You're a Georgia guy who played at South Florida before finishing your college career at Auburn. This is your first time spending any real time in the Pacific Northwest. What's the experience been like?

ES: It's been totally different, but I've really enjoyed it. The weather has been beautiful—not nearly as hot or humid as what I'm used to back home. It's a beautiful place, and I'm glad to be here.

CG: Have the scenery and road trips been an adjustment, too? It's a much different landscape than what you'd see growing up in the Southeast.

ES: Definitely. We don't have mountains or these huge forests where I'm from, so it's been really cool to experience something different.

Everywhere we've gone has been beautiful.

PLUS COWBOY HAT GIVEAWAY PRESENTED BY

44 / VANCOUVER CANADIANS 2026

you experienced your first Canada Day at Nat Bailey Stadium. It was a sold-out crowd with an incredible atmosphere. How did that compare to some of the biggest crowds you've played in front of?

ES: It was awesome. At South Florida, we didn't really have crowds like that. Auburn introduced me to playing in front of bigger crowds, but nothing quite compares to coming here and seeing more than 6,000 people every night cheering you on. That's a lot of fun.

CG: Then the very next day, another packed house came out for Max Scherzer's rehab start. Even though he was only around briefly, what was it like sharing the field with someone who's going to be in the Hall of Fame one day?

ES: That was really special. Growing up, Max Scherzer was one of the guys I always watched and admired. Just getting the chance to play behind him was something I'll remember for a long time. It's definitely one of those moments you dream about as a kid.

CG: One thing that stands out about your game is your approach at the plate.

Throughout college and now in pro ball, you've consistently posted strong on-base percentages. How important is controlling the strike zone to your success?

ES: It's huge. The first step to scoring runs is getting on base, so that's always my mindset. Whether it's a walk, getting hit by a pitch, beating out a ground ball, or taking advantage of an error, I'm just trying to find a

way to get on. Once I'm there, I want to create pressure and help the team however I can.

CG: Your coaches in Dunedin spoke highly of your instincts on the bases before your promotion. You've already stolen 19 bases this season. Speed obviously helps, but there's a lot more that goes into being an effective baserunner. What's allowed you to have that kind of success?

ES: It's really about technique. Getting good jumps, knowing when to take certain leads, reading pitchers—those are all things you work on every day. The more you practice it, the more natural it becomes during games.

CG: Defensively, you've become a true utility player. Most of your time has come at second base, but you've also seen significant action at shortstop and third. How valuable is that versatility, especially early in your professional career?

ES: I think it's extremely valuable. Injuries happen throughout a season, and when they do, guys have to move around. Being able to play multiple positions gives the coaching staff options and gives me more opportunities to stay in the lineup. That's something I take a lot of pride in.

CG: If you could settle into one position every day, which one would you choose?

ES: I'd probably say shortstop first, then second base, then third.

CG: Father's Day was just a couple of weeks ago, and I wanted to ask about your dad's influence. He's been a big part of your baseball journey, hasn't he?

ES: Absolutely. He coached me until I was about 16 or 17 years old, so he had a huge impact on my development—not just as a player, but as a person. I'm really grateful for everything he's done to help me get to this point.

CG: Life in professional baseball doesn't leave much free time, especially with travel and six-game series. But when you do get a day off, what does an ideal off day look like?

ES: I definitely want to play some golf while I'm up here. I've heard the courses are really nice, and they're a little different from what I'm used to in the Southeast. I'd also like to get out and do some hiking. The scenery up here is incredible, so I want to take advantage of that.

CG: Last one for you. Are you someone who sets statistical goals or goals about reaching a certain level by the end of the season, or do you prefer to stay focused on the present?

ES: I think everybody has goals, and I'm no different. But once the season starts, I really try to stay in the present. My focus is on preparing every day and letting the game take care of the rest. At the end of the year, you can look back and see where everything ended up, but right now it's about doing everything I can to help the team win.

CG: Eric, thanks again for taking the time, and congratulations on a terrific start in Vancouver.

ES: I appreciate it. Thank you.

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
