Founded in 2006, with the purpose of promoting and marketing Professional Baseball players, PROS is the brainchild of Joe Quagliano who has taken his friendship with several former NY Yankees to a new level.

After talking over his idea with former Yankee great, Hank Bauer, they decided that forming a company that could provide a convenient way to promote today’s athletes would be a formidable idea. With an informative and e-commerce powered web site, PROS has provided each client an opportunity to expand their financial horizons in several ways, including memorabilia sales, autograph signings, charity events, book promotions etc.

Not only is the client top priority at PROS, but the fans and customers are also given the same exclusive treatment. When the customer purchases memorabilia from the PROS web-site or our EBAY store, they know that through our exclusive agreement, that each piece is authentic and signed by the athlete. Every item is accompanied with a numbered PROS Certificate of Authenticity signed by the Athlete. You heard right, each Certificate of Authenticity is signed by the Athlete. You cant get better Authenticity than that !

Our events are among the most unique and fan friendly events in the Sports marketing business. With the greatest of all sporting arenas, Yankee Stadium as our staging area we offer a variety of Yankee Stadium packages. Our Yankee Stadium Tour tickets are sought after by fans, tourists, stadium trekkers, and historians.. All of our Stadium tours are escorted by members of the PROS roster including Joe Pepitone, Mickey Rivers, Oscar Gamble, Roy White, Ron Blomberg etc.. After the tours our guest are joined by their Yankee escort for lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe or NYY Steak located in Yankee Stadium. This is a great family package and one of our most popular events.

Would you like to enjoy watching a Yankees game at the new Yankee Stadium sitting in a private luxury suite surrounded by some of your favorite Yankee heroes with food, beverages, autographs all included? Well with a PROS Luxury suite ticket you could. Each season we purchase a luxury suite and invite several of our Athletes to watch the games with our customers (click here for more info). This unique Legend suite experience has become the most successful of all the PROS events with tickets selling out almost immediately.

PROS in partnership with Stan's Sports World, Located at 850 River Road, Bronx, NY (1/2 block from Yankee stadium) has become a Mecca for Yankees autographs and appearances. Before or after each weekend game you could find Ron Guidry, Moose Skowron or a number of Yankee Legends at Stan's signing autographs and posing for photos with hundreds of fans. Our autographs signings at Stan's have been featured on the front page of the NY Times and the home page of AOL as well as feature articles in the NY Post, NY Daily News, Newsday and USA Today. Our 2010 schedule will offer some of greatest Yankees to ever wear the pinstripes. We will also have a classic Yankees vs. Met's autograph show when the Met's come to the Bronx for a three game series in June. Check our web site for a schedule of signings at Stan's.

pROS is proudly committed to several charities such as ALS Association, American Cancer Society, Ed Lucas's - St. Joseph's School for the Blind and Derek Jeters Turn 2 Foundation. PROS has held several successful charity events for its clients over the years and sits on the Board of Directors for the Concordia Learning Center / Gene Michael Celebrity Golf outing.

In 2006 with the blessing from Yankee great Hank Bauer, Joe Quagliano developed the concept that would become Mint Pros. Joe's relationship with players such as Moose Skowron, Hank Bauer, Oscar Gamble, Mickey Rivers, Orlando Cepeda, and many others made the transaction from concept to reality a very easy one. Over 20 years of experience in the memorabilia and sports collectibles business helps bring the leadership that Mint Pros requires.
His commitment to charities such as The American Cancer Society, ALS Association, and Derek Jeters Turn 2  is first an foremost his inspiration.
He has Dedicated Mint Pros to his parents who both lost their battle with cancer.
Former Yankee outfielder, Oscar Gamble is a recent addition to the MintPros management team.  Not only was Mr. Gamble a power hitter as a player but he is also a powerhouse in the area of relationship networking.  In addition to the seven years in New York which Oscar played with the Yankees, he had also played in Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland, San Diego and Texas over the course of his 17 year career in the major leagues.  This has enabled Oscar to cultivate a vast network of relationships in the professional athlete community.  This said, Oscar provides MintPros with an invaluable outreach for special requests, fundraisers and other philanthropic efforts.
Mr. Glavocich is a recent addition to the Mint Pros team.  Lloyd comes to Mint Pros after a 20 year career on Wall Street, much of which was spent as a Managing Director of Systems Development.  In addition to his expertise in systems development in the financial sector, Lloyd is also the owner of Web Launch Solutions, a web design and promotional firm.  It is this area of expertise that Lloyd will focus on for Mint Pros.  This coupled with a profound interest in sports and a background in sports memorabilia dealings will offer Mint Pros and its constituency the best possible promotional benefit.
Iin 2008 Mint Pros welcomed Roy Goderstad to its ever growing family. An ex- athlete himself, Roy not only brings a mental knowledge of sports, but a physical one as well. Treating athletes right, as well as the fans, is his main goal and with his background, we at Mint Pros are glad to have him on board. He is currently working on bringing our roster of athletes and many fans together on a more personal level; such as private dinners, meet and greets, corporate visits, golf outing, etc.. he feels that promoting athletes on this level makes it a more gratifying experience for the fan, instead of just waiting on line for an autograph. We at Mint Pros agree and heartily welcome him into our family.

Sean has over 10 years of experience with a diversified background in information technology and web design that has helped Mint Pros since day 1. He is the driving force behind Mint Pros internet presence.

Sean Juan is Creative Director at Smek Design and Consulting
