Pronounciation?

[Jacklitsch]

Please try. When I heard your T206 back presentation the pronunciation was like fingernails on a chalkboard.

BTW it was a very nice video.

El Principe de Gales: "Ha-les", ¿si, no?
Alan & Gintner? Gintner or Jintner?
Minnie Miñoso, how 'bout that?
Ki Ki Cuyler: Kee Kee or Kye Kye?
Eevers or Evers, Ha-nus or Ho-nus, LAJ-a-way or 'Nuf Ced?

Kawika (Kaveeka)

Napoléon "Nap" Lajoie [la-ZHWAH, or often la-ZHWAY, per the Canadian French pronunciation; or, as he himself usually pronounced it, LAJ-a-way[1]] (September 5, 1874 – February 7, 1959), also known as Larry Lajoie.

Do you know how many people don't even know the translation of El Principe de Gales?

[lharri3600]

Yep barry,
the prince of wales

[barrysloate]

Thank you Larry...you would be surprised how many T206 collectors don't even know that.

Definitely "Kye Kye"...he was a stutterer and if he said his last name it sounded like "kye kye Cuyler."

We used to play a game in college to see who could be the "King of Whales" for the evening.
ROugh game, had to go to the clinic once.

was very amused at this entry from the mile high auction catalog, 1/22/2010 (borrowed without permission)...

As most T206 collectors are aware, "El Principe de Gales" can be translated to "The King of Wales,"

[ethicsprof]

Nap's last name still blows me away.
Barry S., i don't know how many people don't even know the translation of
EPDG!!

best,
barry

What is the correct pronunciation of Chris Van der Ahe?

(I've got the "Chris" part.)

[barrysloate]

First you need the correct spelling- it's "Von"

Then I would pronounce it VON-der-aye

[uffda51]

Subconscious typo on my part. I'm know a few people that were named Vander Ark, Vanderkellen, etc. I've heard some people turn the Ahe in Von der Ahe into a two-syllable word but that never seemed right to me.
