UNICORNS DO EXIST!

That quote above comes from my friend Marci Hensley.  Why you ask? Because Ty Hensley, Marci's son is working hard and making things happen with the Utica Unicorns.  Number 7... Ty Hensley. That's right... THAT GUY!

We all know his journey. Hell, We here at Bleeding Yankee Blue are literally one of the few Yankee sites that not only interviewed him when he was drafted by the Yankees, but have followed him ever since and I am happy to say we because friends in the process. I love the way these boys, both Ty and his brother Jake are raised. They are determined, strong, smart young men.

Anyone that has gone through what Ty has would have stopped by now. Maybe got a local job in his community and just blended in.  Not Ty. Ty is a fighter... as long as we have known him he has been. Last night with the Utica Unicorns, more progress... and we here at BYB could not be more proud.

The Oakland Press writes:

"Donald Goodson tossed 7 scoreless innings, scattering 3 hits and struck out 4, while Adrian Guzman 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 runs batted in to lead the Utica Unicorns (6-1) to a win over the Birmingham Bloomfield Beavers...

RHP Ty Hensley earned his first save of the season for the Unicorns tossing the final 2 innings striking out 3."

Unicorns do exist, Marci... they really do.

Congrats to Ty. Keep grinding kid. We are proud over here at BYB!

This should be a lesson to anyone out there that wants to give up. It comes down to one word...

BELIEVE!
