The 411 on Bobby Villante: Last season, while with the Bears of St. Joseph's College of Brooklyn, Bobby Villante established himself as a potent offensive threat, and he'll hope to be another important piece for a Lehman offense that can already put runs on the board. A tremendous talent with both the bat and the leather, Villante will expected to be a team leader and a difference-maker for the Lightning in 2009.
Coach Quirk’s comments on Bobby: "Bobby was an extraordinary offensive threat for the Bears of St. Joseph's College of Brooklyn, and he'll start in center field for us. He's a game-changing type of player, and he was the most talented recruit that we brought in here."
