“I am incredibly grateful to both the Miami Marlins and the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp for the opportunity to return to the major leagues,” Kornberg said. “For this to come against the Dodgers – the team my grandparents rooted for when they lived in Brooklyn years ago – only makes this series even more special to me. There are a lot of people who continue to support me in this amazing journey. Thank you to all my family and friends, in particular my wife, Madie, our kids, Sam, Alma and Luca, my parents, David and Paula, and my siblings Michaela, Adam and Ian for their love and belief in me. It means more than they will ever know.”
