Enjoyed the article. Always nice to see something about vintage baseball in a modern newspaper. One question for the Pronunciation Police: what is the correct way to say Carnegie? Have always heard it said "CAR-na-gie", emphasis on the first syllable. A while back I watched an American Experience TV show about Andrew Carnegie and he was referred to throughout as "Car-NAY-gie", emphasis on second syllable. I also listened to a YouTube with some old-timer who claimed to have known Wagner in Car-NAY-gie. Said "Hah-nuss" as well so he passed that test. Some of you guys are local to the area. What do you call the place?
