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,

And also pronounced Sonny Seibert as Sony.
In my favor I did pronounce Angels pitcher John Verehoven correctly.
