Default How do you pronounce "Lajoie"?

Posted By: BigSpiderBeck

I have always heard "Lajoie" pronounced by others as "la-JOY", stress on second syllable, not that it comes up much with the savages I hang out with. Recently, on a re-run of the Ken Burns Baseball series, I heard the narrator, in stately and learned narrator tones, refer to Ol' 106 as "LAH-j'way", strong stress on first syllable, and I gather the correct French pronunciation of this surname. How do you think Lajoie himself pronounced it? How do you folks pronounce it? I shall defer to your expertise.
