Day 7
As an airline pilot, I see a lot of airports. Most are named after the city they serve, but not all, of course. Some are named after politicians, like Reagan in DC, LaGuardia and JFK in NYC, and Logan in Boston. Some are named after military heroes, like O'Hare in Chicago, and Joe Foss Field in Sioux Falls. There's musicians, like John Lennon Airport in Liverpool, and my own Denver International, named for John Denver (just seeing if you're paying attention). There's even fictional characters, like Robin Hood Airport in Doncaster (since renamed, unfortunately).
But there is only one airport I know of, named for a baseball player. Just one. Not Roberto Clemente, which would be my first guess. Not Ted Williams, who was a military pilot. Just one, named after the first MLBer from the Dominican Republic. That airport is Osvaldo Virgil National Airport in the DR. So today, I give you Ozzie himself! I bet you can win a beer with that bit of knowledge...
