For a Vancouver baseball collector like me this is a nice find. A number of solid would- be MLB'ers and stars made their way through Vancouver's AAA franchise, the Canadians (now a Jays A team) over the years - José Canseco, Rod Beck, Rickey Henderson, Scott Brosius, Jason Giambi, Tim Hudson, Nick Swisher, Troy Glaus, Sammy Sosa, Rich Harden, Miguel Tejada.

While he only played in 47 games In the bigs, you may remember Rodney McCray? Rodney ran right through a Portland outfield wall while playing for the Canadians in 1991.

I picked up Rodney's home jersey from the Canadians, yesterday. No I just need to find one of the bobble walls" that the Beavers gave away as a stadium
Promo a few years back. Anyone have one for sale?

Yeah, that is an original nameplate.

Here another one from the same era that I have.

Is this the bobble you are talking about:

42314

I had one several years ago, but then sold it for a pretty penny. Will keep my eye out for another one for you.
