Bergino

There are baseball lovers, and there's everyone else. And it should come as no surprise that Bergino, maker of beautiful handmade baseballs, is the mindspring of two diehard baseball fans — Jay Goldberg and Tony Palladino. Jay, who founded the SportsMakers Agency, an athlete representation and sports marketing firm, fell in love with baseball when his father took him to his first game as a three-year-old. Tony, who was elected to the Art Directors Hall of Fame in 1987, teaches graphic concepts at the School of Visual Arts in New York City and began his passion for baseball watching Joe DiMaggio play at Yankee Stadium.

"Both our City Map Baseball Collection and our new Bag Tags are perfect for the travel goods industry," says Jay. In addition, Bergino Baseballs are featured in premier retail stores, catalogs, art galleries and museums. They have also created handmade custom baseballs for corporations, celebrities, business titans and family celebrations.
