I concur. As a Canadian, I have never heard the word pronounced that way in my life.
It's like the stereotype of Americans thinking Canadians say "eh" every two seconds. lol

We have "eh", you 'muricans have the worse-sounding "y'all"

I think it's regional. I've heard "aboot" many times from Canadians. And the "eh" on every sentence I heard from all the hockey players who lived in my dorm in college.

So have I, even from Canadians who have lived for many years in the US. That and pronouncing "been" like "bean."

The pronunciation of "about" seems to change noticeably as you go north. Here in Chicago it's "abowt," but if you get much into Wisconsin and certainly Minnesota, it changes to "aboat."

If in Goudey pronunciation doubt, it is best if you instead collect Diamond Stars or Batter Up cards.

Brian (and Topps instead of Bowman)

I think it's been established here before that Goudey is Gow-dee, but I still say Goo-dee regardless Can't break old habits!

Bowman, I don't think I've ever known anyone to suggest any other pronunciation other than Bo-man

Lajoie and Cicotte, I've only skimmed this thread, but didn't see anyone reference The Glory of Their Times on tape. On that audio tape, the players said Lazh-a-way and See-cot (I'm pretty sure anyway, it's been a few years since I listened to that)

I had a hockey player roommate and the eh was constant.

One name in sports that has obvious pronunciation is Mike Krzyzewski.
