Sporty Peachy: Star-Spangled Banner Baseball by Bergino Recommended by Whom You Know!

Oh say can you...pitch? As we are rounding third base towards Christmas, Bergino baseballs continue to be a fabulous gift for every Mr. & Ms. Impossible to Shop For that you know of, especially if they are patriotic! The Star-Spangled Banner baseball makes for a lovely gift for any baseball fan. Total quality, even the writing of Francis Scott Key is shown prominently on this keepsake that arrives resting on a piece of its own "turf."

After six years in the world of politics, followed by 15 years as a sports agent, Jay Goldberg’s entrepreneurial vision and passion led him home – to baseball – and the founding of Bergino in the spring of 2001. Jay opened the Bergino Baseball Clubhouse in the summer of 2010.

While still an undergraduate at NYU, Jay began working with the country’s preeminent political imagemaker David Garth.

Six years later, he went to work as the Director of Marketing for Athletes & Artists, Inc., while attending law school at night. In 1991, Jay started The SportsMakers Agency, an athlete representation and sports marketing firm.

In the sports arena, Jay managed image campaigns and negotiated various contracts for such baseball legends as Mike Schmidt, Bobby Thomson, Ralph Branca and Don Larsen; sportscasters Al Michaels, Chris Berman, Dan Dierdorf and Karl Nelson; sports heroes Mark Spitz, Edwin Moses, Eric Heiden, Jeff Blatnick, Mike Eruzione, Al Oerter and Jim Valvano; and even top-dog advertising icon Spuds MacKenzie.

During his time in the political consulting field, Jay worked on Mayoral campaigns for Ed Koch and Tom Bradley, Senate campaigns for Arlen Specter and John Heinz, and the Presidential Democratic primary campaign of Walter Mondale.

Additionally, Jay managed and promoted all aspects of the innovative and highly successful “Russians Are Coming” and “Russian Tour-nado I and II” Hockey Tours.

Jay is a graduate of NYU and New York Law School.

Jay’s dad took him to his first baseball game at the age of three. While crawling underneath the seats at Yankee Stadium looking for bottlecaps featuring photos of ballplayers, apparently some guy named Whitey Ford was standing atop a hill in the middle of a large field. Jay has been in love with baseball – and all that surrounds it – ever since.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
