C's pick up Freitas Award at Baseball Winter Meetings

Jake Kerr arrives in Dallas to help anoint C's as Organization of the Year
December 5, 2011
(Dallas, TX) - Just hours after touching down in Dallas, Texas, the Vancouver Canadians ownership of Jake Kerr, Jeff Mooney and Andy Dunn were on-hand to accept the coveted Bob Freitas Award given to the Organization of the Year (Class-A Short-Season).

"We're extremely proud to be able to accept this award named after one of the true gentleman of the game," stated Jake Kerr just minutes after accepting the award at the Baseball Winter Meetings.

The Canadians set a third straight franchise attendance record in addition to unveiling a baseball foundation that helps local children within our community.

As well, Vancouver baseball fans were treated to the C's first Northwest League Championship since the team relocated north of the border in 2000 as the Toronto Blue Jays and Vancouver Canadians kicked off a new multi-year Player Development Contract in style.

The Freitas Award, a first for the Vancouver Canadians organization, caps off a fantastic year for baseball fans on the West Coast with the 2012 schedule already released for fans to grab in advance of Opening Night which is set for Wednesday, June 20th at 7:05pm.

The C's sold out their final eight regular season dates and look to continue their consecutive string of sellouts as they defend their Northwest League Championship.

Tickets to Vancouver Canadians Baseball can be purchased today by calling 604.872.5232 or dropping by the Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium Box Office during regular business hours, Monday to Friday.

The C's are currently offering a Holiday NatPack to fans over the next week. This gets you 15 undated vouchers for any 2012 regular season home game as well as two (2) vouchers for Opening Night and two (2) additional vouchers to be given to the friend or family member of your choice on your behalf.
