California: San Francisco International Airport - Bay Area sports Hall of Fame - Bert Campaneris

            Bert Campaneris is the Cuban-born shortstop and speedy leadoff hitter for the Oakland Athletics teams that won consecutive World Series Championships from 1972 through 1974, the only team other than the Yankees to win that many in a row. Campaneris led the American League in stolen bases six times and played in six league All Star games. Though noted for his power hitting, his two-run homer against the Mets in the ’73 series started the A’s’ winning rally in the deciding seventh game. He also hit two homeruns in his first major league game in 1964, only the third player in big league history to accomplish that feat.  He was inducted into the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame in 2010, and his plaque can be found at SFO Gate 80.

The Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame, started in 1979 by the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce’s Sports Committee and former president of the San Francisco 49ers, Lou Spadia, honors the Bay Area’s athletic legends.  The first Enshrinement Banquet was held in 1980 and honored Bay Area sports legends Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays, Hank Luisetti, Ernie Nevers and Bill Russell.  Each enshrinee receives a bronze plaque of their likeness which is displayed at the banquet and featured in the United Airlines terminal at SFO International Airport before being moved to a permanent location near the stadium, university, golf club, or school they were involved with in the Bay Area.

San Francisco International Airport (IATA: SFO, ICAO: KSFO, FAA LID: SFO), located 13 miles south of downtown San Francisco in unincorporated San Mateo County, offers non-stop links with more than 30 international points on 25 international carriers. The Bay Area's largest airport connects non-stop with more than 65 cities in the U.S. on 20 domestic airlines.  The airport originally opened on May 7, 1927 as Mills field Municipal Aiport and was renamed San Francisco Municipal Airport in 1931, witht he Municipal replaced by International in 1955.

SFO was voted “North America’s Best Airport” in 2008 by passengers for its outstanding customer service and amenities.  

In 2007, the San Francisco International Airport was ranked #121 on the AIA 150 America's Favorite Architecture list.
