Belen Jesuit senior CJ Vazquez signed his letter of intent to play baseball at Fordham University on November 15 at the school's Roberto Goizueta Athletic Center.
Father Frank Permuy, SJ said the invocation. Father Willie García-Tuñón, SJ welcomed guests and congratulated CJ on his accomplishment. Head Baseball Coach Jerry Albert and Athletic Director Carlos Barquin also spoke at the signing ceremony.
"CJ is the epitome of the Belen student-athlete; he is totally committed to his team and his teammates while never sacrificing on the academic end," said Coach Albert. "He is a very hard working, consistent, pleasant young man who brings his 'A-Game' to the field every single day. Fordham combines high level baseball with academic excellence and that is exactly what CJ is all about."

Belen Jesuit Preparatory School was founded in 1854 in Havana, Cuba, by Queen Isabel II of Spain. The task of educating students was assigned to the priests and brothers of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), whose teaching tradition is synonymous with academic excellence and spiritual discipline. In 1961, the new political regime of Cuba confiscated the school's property and expelled the Jesuit faculty. The School was re-established in Miami the same year, and over the next decade, continued to grow. Today, Belen Jesuit is situated on a 34-acre site in western Dade County, just minutes away from downtown Miami.
