§ 802. Jose U. Atoigue Memorial Park.
I Liheslatura finds that many of the younger generation are unfamiliar with the athletic feats and accomplishments of their fathers and grandfathers, particularly those baseball players who performed so admirably in those halcyon days prior to the Second World War. Accordingly, I Liheslatura deems it appropriate to forever memorialize these athletic heroes by naming baseball fields and other public recreational areas after them in commemoration of their contributions to island sport. Jose U. Atoigue was famous throughout the island as probably the best third baseman who ever played on Guam at least before the Second World War. Being a resident of Chalan Pago , I Liheslatura therefore concludes that naming the ball field there for him would be an appropriate and proper recognition of his contributions to baseball and to the community. Accordingly, the public baseball field in the municipality of Chalan Pago-Ordot is hereby renamed the Jose U. Atoigue Memorial Park.
