My response was always: 1) pronounced just like it looks *cough* Worcester *cough* and 2) Pequot — for reals?

My family is from Gloucester, MA. That’s GLO-sta, so who am I to complain.

Just another Texas town that doesn’t sound anything like it’s spelled. Pflugerville and Mexia come to mind.

I feel so old. I can’t believe Craig Biggio’s old enough to have a kid that age. This makes me question my mortality.

Side note: I was disappointed when I looked up the pronunciation of “Boerne”—it’s “bur nee” and not “born.”

Also on this list are sons of Roger Clemens, Len Dykstra, Torii Hunter, Rafael Palmeiro, and a brother of Jason Heyward (unless there is more than one Heyward family in McDonough, GA).
