The Vancouver Canadians are the Northwest League affiliate of the Oakland Athletics. They are located in Vancouver, British Columbia. As a minor league baseball franchise (dating back to 1979 in Medford, OR), the Canadians have had players such as Victoria's Mike Chewpoy, José Canseco, Rod Beck, Rickey Henderson, Scott Brosius, Jason Giambi, Tim Hudson, Nick Swisher, Jeremy Brown, Jason Windsor, Joe Blanton, Rich Harden, Travis Buck, Sean Triplett, Danny Putman, Dallas Braden and Miguel Tejada. The current incarnation of the Canadians was established in 2000 after the AAA Canadians moved to Sacramento, California and became the Sacramento River Cats (which is now an affiliate of the Athletics; the team formed after Medford, Oregon's Southern Oregon Timberjacks relocated to Vancouver. The team became affiliated with the Los Angeles Angels, among others).
