Bloomington, CA. – On Saturday, January 15th Supervisor Joe Baca Jr., with the support of the Bloomington community gathered at Kessler Park to unveil monuments in honor of four committed Bloomington High Alumnus. The event had a great turn out and a lot of supporters from all around the community came to support. A huge concrete monument and a baseball field scoreboard at the park was named the “Gary Mendoza Memorial Field,” in honor of Mendoza who was an integral part of our Bloomington Little League. Gary Mendoza’s legacy had a lasting impact on our Bloomington Community and his support for the children will be passed on through generations. During the ceremony we were also able to unveil personalized benches honoring Evric Gray, retired New Jersey Nets Basketball Player; Mike Ashman, retired head coach of Cal Poly Pomona’s baseball team and current batting practice coach; and Lonell Roberts, 11 season baseball player for by the Toronto Blue Jays’ organization.
