17 WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY TY HENSLEY Former 1st Round Draft Pick of New York Yankees
“I am emailing you tonight just as soon as I got home because I wanted to THANK YOU for a job well done! You have NAILED IT! And I dare say you are better than Disneyland. You are more affordable. And I don’t ever recall hearing anything about Disney coordinating the contribution of funds from community entities to charities: buying a game worn jersey = 50% of the profits go to ALS research, a stolen base generates another charitable donation, and so on. As the mother of two now grown sons, I was astounded to see seven, eight, and even 14-year-old boys responding with genuine excitement and confidence to the seventh inning stretch dancers by JOINING IN THE DANCING! Kudos to you for putting the bat boys out there as well as the cheer girls to lead the dance! All of the activities you have put in a game night occupy absolutely everyone: the youngsters who got to make their proudly worn headbands for their favorite team, the giveaways (I scored a JJ bobble head), the special selections of random rows for more giveaways, the Beer Batter of the night so we’ll watch if he gets a hit and we get a discount, the movie night, the fireworks I’ve heard about, letting the kids run the bases afterwards and give high-fives to the team mascots ... it all adds up to the greatest thing I’ve seen in baseball in decades.” - Paula Porter LETTER FROM THE It was a truly outstanding fourth season, and perhaps nothing was more exciting than seeing our first USPBL alum make it to the Majors, when OWNER former Utica Unicorns pitcher Randy Dobnak was called up in August by the Minnesota Twins! Randy made his debut with the Twins on August 9, 2019, pitching 4 scoreless innings in relief. He remained with the club through the rest of the 2019 season, posting a 1.59 Earned Run Average with 23 Strikeouts, and he even started Game 2 of the American League Divisional Series against the New York Yankees. Randy is the first of what we expect to be many USPBL players who will achieve their ultimate goal of making it to the Big Show, as the vision of the USPBL as a developmental league for MLB continues to take root.
With the promotion of Randy Dobnak to the Majors, the USPBL’s brand awareness reached new heights in 2019, as sales of Utica Unicorns s we approach the start of our fifth season merchandise spread across the country, and the A of the United Shore Professional Baseball USPBL was featured on national MLB broadcasts.

2 RANDY DOBNAK DOMINATES
It was a watershed moment for the USPBL when former Utica Unicorns pitcher Randy Dobnak was called up to the Minnesota Twins and made his first appearance on August 9, 2019, becoming the first USPBL alum to make it to the Majors! Dobnak was undrafted in 2017 out of Alderson Broaddus University in West Virginia when he was signed by the USPBL to play for the Utica Unicorns. He was signed by the Minnesota Twins in August of 2017 based on the recommendation of USPBL Director of Baseball Operations Justin Orenduff, and Dobnak proceeded to make his way all the way up through the Twins Organization in just two years!
“It’s been an unbelieveable experience. Two years ago I never thought I would be where I am today. I’m speechless and thankful for the opportunity the USPBL has given me to jump start my career. It’s unbelieveable. It’s great to go back and see where it all started. I can’t give enough thanks to the USPBL and Jim Essian (Unicorns Manager) for getting me into the league. Without them I don’t know what I would be doing right now. It’s been an incredible ride. Don’t give up on your dream.” - Randy Dobnak, Minnesota Twins
