Now, this is interesting…

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.

All I can say is, if this is a paid position, I’m busting out the demo reels.

Which is probably as good a time as any to segue into the news that my weekly radio show on CJSF 90.1FM has just been moved up from the old Sunday morning slot to the prime time Thursday night slot of 8-10pm.

First show in the new timeslot happens this coming Thursday, so be sure to tune in, or listen online at CJSF.ca

UPDATE: From the comments, the C’s have released the following YouTube clip to give a little more info.

Still no mention on whether the spot is paid…
