    As I said in the 1st post of this thread, Frank Robinson was my favorite player when I was 10 yrs old.

    I remember seeing his name in Reds yearbooks when he coming up through the minors and had no earthly idea how to pronounce his name.

    Shades of me seeing Mike Cuellar's name in books in the 1990s and thinking his name was "Mike Cellular."

    Since I was an Indians fan at the time, another favorite was the eponymous Woodie Held.

    Several years ago, my mother and I were watching some movie with Joaquin Phoenix - probably Signs - and she couldn't pronounce his name and ended up calling him, "Yo." It became a running joke in our family for a few years.

    Rocky Colavito and Sudden Sam Mcdowell were my favorite Cleveland Indians back in the mid '60s. I followed them through the box scores. LOL, haven't thought of those guys in years.

    Signed by the Yankees and called the next Mickey Mantle. DeWitt had worked for the Yankees briefly when he was originally signed so he knew the hype. The picked him up and he tore up the PCL, had that great 1965 season and that was one reason that DeWitt thought he could lose Robby and still have a great team.
