Congressman Mike Quigley, who introduced the measure changing the post office name, gave a plaque to Goodman's mother Sunday
She thanked Quigley for introducing the resolution.
"I'm told it was your first resolution and that it passed unanimously, something that doesn't always happen with our elected employees, and that our Sox fan president signed it," said mother Minette Goodman.
Goodman was 36 when he died in 1984, after a 15-year battle with leukemia.
