The Vancouver Canadians Baseball Club is set to hold an open tryout for their vacant color commentator position. The Canadians will open their doors this coming Saturday June 2nd starting at noon to all the public, and hold a one-time audition to try and discover that one person, regardless of experience who can come out and help us showcase the team this season.
" I think it's great. To invite people out to the stadium, put a microphone in their hands and see what they've got, who knows? Maybe you do find that diamond in the rough" says Rob Fai, play-by-play voice for the club this season.
The Canadians have 26 games this season to be aired on the TEAM 1040 and are giving one fan, the chance of a lifetime to join Rob Fai (F-eh) in the broadcast booth to cover a handful of those games this summer out at Nat Bailey Stadium.
"We would welcome a person that was passionate about the city, the team and the game of baseball." adds Fai.
The Vancouver Canadians season opener is June 19th at 7:05pm against the Tri City Dust Devils. Vancouver plays in the Northwest League and are a affiliate of the Oakland Athletics Baseball Club.
