Burnaby, BC, Canada - March 31, 2003 -- After serving the BC and Lower Mainland Baseball and Softball communities for over 20 years, Burnaby-based Prostock Athletic Supplies Ltd. is taking its wares to the Internet at GoProstock.com . "We are now taking the next step in providing top-notch service to baseball and softball enthusiasts across Canada," according to owner Alex McKay. "Players from outside the Lower Mainland can now benefit from our great selection, pricing and renowned service. They no longer have to come to our Burnaby store, although we welcome them to visit us whenever possible."

Prostock offers more than 100 different models of bats, 200 different gloves, dozens of different balls, shoes, players bags, training aids and everything needed to set up and maintain a ball operation. They also provide catcher's and umpire's protective gear as well as pitching machines, coaching aids and a new section of instructional books and videos.

"By creating an Online Store we can now offer our baseball and softball products to teams and players who may not have access to the selection we carry. People in smaller towns and cities are at a disadvantage when it comes to buying equipment", says McKay. "They are often stuck dealing with a general sporting goods store that can't provide such a selection. We are one of the largest baseball stores in Canada and can offer great deals no matter where you live. As an added incentive to visit our site, we are offering introductory specials including free shipping and monthly give aways."

Prostock takes pride in its leadership role in offering the best selection, quality and service at affordable prices. Its generous return policy is just one example of this. In an industry that typically provides customers with the manufacturers' "800 numbers" to handle returns, Prostock stands behind its products 100%. "Bring it or send it back with your receipt and we will replace it", explains Al. "We deal with all of the biggest names in baseball and we know that they stand behind their products. Why put the customer through all that hassle when we can do it for them?"

Each of the sales staff at Prostock has been involved in baseball or softball in some way. All of them played or coach at one level or another and can help customers with any questions they may have. Owner Al McKay has been around baseball most of his life. Al's younger brother, Canadian Baseball Hall-of-Famer Dave McKay, had a successful MLB career spanning stints with the Minnesota Twins, Toronto Blue Jays, and Oakland Athletics. Dave is now First Base Coach for the St. Louis Cardinals. Al's nephew, Cody McKay, is an up-and-coming prospect in the Milwaukee Brewers organization this year.
