Fair enough. Though I would direct those who are undecided here: http://gidget.vox.com/library/audio/6a00c2252027bef21900d4143f84c3685e.html so they can judge for themselves. I don't focus on how Jon pronounces the names of New York baseball players, but I think if you listen to him a lot you will hear him give the exaggerated pronunciation to players from several different nationalities (he is a Spanish-speaker). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
