or Ben -gohze? Rhymes with ten shows?

What Chinese city? I have to admit, I am stumped on that one.

Thanks for posting that excerpt from his bio Justin. Really interesting info.

David, I too spent decades calling Nap, "La-joy".

And to address the original post, as an 8 year old I used to pronounce Don McMahon,
Don Mac mah hone. Ya know, phonetically.

And also pronounced Sonny Seibert as Sony.

In my favor I did pronounce Angels pitcher John Verehoven correctly.
