Rebecca’s mom is pretty awesome. She scored us a couple of free tickets to a Vancouver Canadians game because she knew this boy from America would dig seeing a baseball game here in B.C. To that I have to say, oh hell yes I would.
The Vancouver Canadians are the Single “A” Affiliate of the Oakland Athletics. We play in the Northwest League with seven other teams during the summer months each year. The team has a schedule of 76 games (38 home 38 away) and the season starts at the end of June each year. The team plays those 76 games in 79 days each year in a manner that can only be described as “traditional”. They make their way from stadium to stadium each game via bus, each player trying to hone their skills with the hopes of one day making it to the major leagues. [canadiansbaseball]
I think we’ll try to make it out for a game against the Boise Hawks. They are a Chicago Cubs affiliate afterall.
That’s great John! I hope you gave Fran a big hug. Looks like we don’t have to worry about no one spoiling you in Canada.
