The Chamber of Deputies has announced that it has added the name of Juan Marichal to the Quisqueya Ball Park. A bill approved this week names the ball park Estadio Quisqueya Juan Marichal to honor the only Dominican member of Major League Baseball’s Cooperstown Hall of Fame. The name change was proposed by Senator Adriano Sanchez Roa. The bill now needs to be signed by President Danilo Medina and published.
The Dominican right-handed pitcher played for the San Francisco Giants for 14 of his 16 seasons in Major League Baseball. Marichal won more games than any other pitcher during the 1960s and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1983.
