Then there was the attempt to name San Francisco International (SFO) Joe
DiMaggio Field. Joltin Joe played his big league career with the NY

Yankees.
He did marry Marilyn Monroe in the City. I could vote for calling it MM
International with a big picture of her over the entrance.


Joe DiMaggio was a local boy. He was born in Martinez, California, his
family moved to San Francisco shortly after his birth.

I prefer airfields to be named for people with an aviation connection.
