The Problem

The original concept was started by Allan Teruel in 2009. He had difficulties trying to find trusted Major League Baseball news quickly for the San Francisco Giants. He was not satisfied with the speed nor the depth of news coverage that the national and local sports journalists provided. He wanted a 360-degree view of the baseball news that he cared about, and he didn't want to have to filter through the noise to get it.

The Solution

Today, PRO Rumors is one of the leading publishers of trusted and responsible baseball journalism. The articles are created by volunteer writers 365 days of the year. Over the past year, PRO Rumors has established itself as a profitable web and mobile company, and we have seen quarter-over-quarter increases in mobile app sales and page views.

Current sports media companies take a top-down approach to content, where editors publish information based on what will appeal to the broadest audience. What results is a lot of noise. We take the bottom-up approach, where we deliver only what you are interested in.

	Ted Banucci Ted helps out with the backend systems and dabbles in making really cool videos. A New York suburb native, Ted was branded a Yankees fan upon arrival to the world. Literally. His father overpowered a 300-pound delivery nurse to actually brand a screaming baby with a cattle-prod. Aside from being an all-star T-ball player and holding a Reggie bar single-sitting consumption record, his first MLB experience was following the 1977 and 1978 World Series Champion Yankees. Held back by conspiracists and any sort of talent to play professionally, Ted continues the dream in San Jose softball and wiffleball tournaments, always a champion in one way or another. You can email Ted at tbanucci@prorumors.com
	Alex Schekin Alex is our Java hacker. He's responsible for each and every pixel on our awesome Android app. When he's not being a ninja coder, Alex loves his time outdoors on 4x4 trucks and mountain bikes.
