Jason Bay Field Project

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Trail City Council has postponed this project temporarily. In the meantime, the volunteer committee will continue its fundraising campaign. If you have already made a contribution and have a question about your donation, please contact the committee at JasonBayFieldProject@gmail.com 

Trail City Council has approved in principle to include “Jason Bay Field” at Butler Park, per the request of a local volunteer committee comprised of Trail baseball and sports enthusiasts. The committee has expressed the importance of acknowledging the successes of Trail native Jason Bay who successfully played in the MLB (Major League Baseball) and who was recently inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.

"Jason Bay Field" Signage FundraisingJason Bay Sign Renderings

Design concepts include an illuminated “Jason Bay Field” sign to sit above the existing scoreboard, and a "Jason Bay Field" sign to be placed on the exterior of the grandstand at Butler Park. The project is estimated at $50,000. The City of Trail has committed 60% of the total cost for the design and installation, and has asked the committee to fundraise the remaining 40%.  

With your generous donation, the Jason Bay Field will become a reality.  If you'd like to make a contribution, please see the donation levels below.  Cheques can be made out to: Jason Bay Field Project and can be dropped off at Kootenay Savings Credit Union downtown Trail, or at Trail City Hall at 1394 Pine Avenue. (Cash or cheques only at Trail City Hall)
A sponsor recognition piece will be designed and installed at the park to acknowledge your contribution!

About Jason Bay

Jason Bay is a well-known and well-respected career baseball player whose youth years were spent under the coaching of Mr. Andy Bilesky.  Mr. Bay was a member of the 1990 Canadian Little League team from Trail, traveling to Williamsport that year. He was also a member of the 1995 Trail Jays team, participating in the Senior Babe Ruth World Series held in Trail.  During his final year at university, Mr. Bay was drafted by the Montreal Expos, playing three minor league seasons.  In 2003, he advanced to Major League Baseball (MLB) and was awarded Rookie of the Year in 2004 as a member of the Pittsburg Pirates. He is the only Canadian ball player to achieve this status. He retired in 2013. Trail honoured Mr. Bay during the 2005 Home of Champions induction ceremony. Mr. Bay was honoured with induction in the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in June 2019.
