The game in our inner-cities is dying and the NUPBL is giving African American players a new hope to live out America’s past-time.

The new league will offer minority players the opportunity to play the game they love on a professional level, an opportunity many have been denied.

We want this league the Urban Professional Baseball League to capture the heart and soul of the nation and mostly importantly the hearts and the souls of the African American community.

We are looking for excitement, enthusiasm and support from the African American Community for this league from the East, the West, the North and the South,” said Coach Mike Mayden.
