greg gagne (1997 upper deck collector's choice).
and eric gagne (2003 topps gold)
greg pronounced it 'gag-knee', while eric pronounced it 'gone-yay'. the difference, of course, was in eric's french canadian heritage. greg came from massachusetts, a place with it's own strange regional pronunciations (how does worcester become wuster?).
for a time, i held out brief hope that another quebecer, russell martin, would add to this exlusive group. the dodgers had a pitcher named tom martin a few years ago who pronounced his name 'mar-tin'. i had hoped that russell's upbringing would have resulted in his last name being pronounced 'mar-teen' or 'mar-tan' .
alas, it did not.
