Meet the Board
Our dedicated volunteer leaders
Believes the infield fly rule was invented just to confuse parents. Has never met a batting cage token he didn't immediately lose. Runs UPYBA on coffee, sunflower seeds, and pure determination.

Can drag a field in under 8 minutes flat. Once argued with an umpire using only hand signals. His truck bed has more chalk dust than a math classroom.

Keeps the books balanced and the sponsors happy. Known to break out spreadsheets at cookouts. His marketing ideas are as solid as his knowledge of obscure baseball stats from 1987.
Takes the most detailed meeting minutes in the tri-county area. Can type 90 WPM while simultaneously yelling encouragement from the bleachers. His notes have notes.
The fields fear him. Drainage ditches respect him. Has a personal relationship with every blade of grass at Kaszyski Park. Will lecture you about soil pH if you make eye contact.

Documents everything. Literally everything. If it happened at a board meeting, Steve wrote it down. Rumor has it he records his own grocery lists in Robert's Rules format.
Lives and breathes travel ball. Has more tournament brackets memorized than phone numbers. Once drove to the wrong field three towns over and still made it to game time.

The snack stand queen. Can make 47 hot dogs in 5 minutes and still have time to sell a 50/50 ticket. Her fundraising powers are the stuff of local legend.
If it needs to be ordered, sized, or inventoried, Ken's your guy. Has strong opinions about batting glove brands. His garage looks like a Dick's Sporting Goods warehouse.
Turns kids who can't catch into kids who sometimes catch. A wizard with a fungo bat and an endless supply of encouragement. Will run a drill until everyone gets it right or the sun goes down.

Makes UPYBA look good online, one post at a time. Can photograph a diving catch while simultaneously updating the Facebook page. Her hashtag game is undefeated.
