This is good stuff. Being a collector since like forever, I have never even heard anyone pronounce it Goo-Dee until now. I have never thought twice that it could be anything other than Gow-Dee (like cow). Interesting though.
Just my two cents worth but I have also called Bowmans Bo-men pronounced like bow and arrow and Lajoie as Lazho-way. That American Greed pronunciation the other night threw me for a loop. Fun thread. JD |

"Hah-nus" or "Hoh-nus" ?

great question. I always said "ho", but have heard many say "Hah". The narrator said "Ho" in the American Greed segment, but I hardly consider him an expert. What's the definitive answer on this??

Wagner was one of nine children. As a child, he was called Hans by his mother, which later evolved into Honus. "Hans" was also an alternate nickname during his major league career. So it appears that Hah-nus is the way to go. Last edited by CW; 08-27-2017 at 12:07 AM. |

I have been fairly certain, for a long time, that his name was pronounced HAH-niss. It's nice to see that theory gaining a little traction.

Actually, if you hover your mouse over the pronunciation portion of his name, it says the "o" is pronounced as in "body". Bah-dee, Hah-nus.

Off topic a bit, but is it Brett Fav-ray or Brett Favor?
