Villone’s Can Do ‘Tude

From the Bergen Record:

And yes, there was celebration among Villone’s family and friends upon the news that the left-hander from Bergenfield would be fitted for pinstripes.

“It was probably one of the best days in my life,” said Villone, who recalled “a quick, little adrenaline rush” when he learned of his official transfer to the Yankees.

“My role is going to be whatever Joe Torre wants it to be,” Villone said. “I’m willing to do anything at all. If he needs me to pinch hit, to bunt a runner over, I’ll do it.”

Refreshing. But, I still think they should try and limit him to facing LH batters.
