On June 3, 2015, two years into the ten-year contract he signed with the Mariners, Robinson Canó hosted the inaugural Canoche, the signature event for his RC22 foundation. Held at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle, the guest list featured Seattle sports luminaries like Kam Chancellor; most of Canó’s teammates, including Kyle Seager and Nelson Cruz; stars from the baseball world like Alex Rodriguez and C.C. Sabathia; and of course, Jay-Z (and Macklemore, because 2015). A select number of tickets were made available to Mariners season-ticket holders, but other than that, the red-carpet event, which included dinner, entertainment, and a silent auction of baseball memorabilia, among other things, was highly exclusive.
