I remember driving in NE one time and calling my brother-in-law who lives up there. He asked me where I was. I said in my NJ accent,"War Chest er" for Worcester. He must have said what 6 times before he finally figured out I was talking about Woooster.
and don't get me starterd on Haverhill.....

What? It's pronounced like it looks. Haverhill. I get the whole "don't know how to pronounce Worcester the first time you see it" thing. But when you think about it, Anyone who's ever said Worcestershire knows how to say Worcester.

I got a perfect score and the bonus. Not that I should be proud of that.

Right, well, I'm talking more of a "correct" pronounciation rather than native tongue.

marsrover- There is a forum post from a short while ago that where a bunch of us residing in the bay area talked about getting together once the season starts. I'll update it as soon as we get a little closer towards opening day.

Apple Valley, MN.....a Twin Cities suburb. Originally from Wisconsin, born in Port Washington. Due to long radio career, many stops. In order, from high school in Willmar, MN.......Twin Cities & Duluth, MN, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Jacksonville, Tampa, Kansas City, Boston, New York, Honolulu, St. Cloud, MN and now the Twin Cities again. Of all those places, wife and I loved Boston the best. One of the best places in America for sports, restaurants, history, and a good place to raise kids.
