Griffey and Martin

[jibsey]

I'm starting to like Martin doing a Neil's impression from the 3 point line in the playoffs.

Niels Giffey, not Neil's Griffey.

My name is Neil, here's my Griffey:

Yeah, Neil Griffey. Big fan.

Playoffs?

Griffey was left handed.

Hopefully he wears a backwards hat during the next game to take the impression to the next level

Simple mistake @jibsey .....i mean...can you blame The Kid?

 

[Griffman]

We both can shoot the 3!

As I've posted before, my father has ninja-level misnaming skills (e.g., "Brightboat"); I'm sure he has contorted Niels's name even worse.

Lolz. Gerrit Cole has been great all season and won the playoff game the other night against Villanova when he scored the touchdown and got the pad save to secure the playoff win.

On to the Super Bowl!

Same. I regularly hear:

"A Cock"
"Pulley"
"Number 2/Number 0" (Both of these are Cole)
"The 6'8" Kid" (This one was tough to decipher at first, but it's Sanogo)
"24"

Just yesterday I got:
"Castille"

Maybe he also meant Marino instead of Martin.

Spell check sends me to the blackboard, my sunglasses are prescription and I need new ones…….Giffey, Giffey, Giffey….

I have a friend like that. He once called Mookie Wilson, Rocky Mooten.

Nice. My Dad is also a Mets fan (hence my fanship). He calls Yoenis Céspedes "Cypress."

Knocked it out of the park

Phil Rizzuto with his Brooklyn accent used to call Oil Can Boyd "Earl Can Bird"
He said that was the only way he could pronounce it coming from Brooklyn. So when Bill White asks him how he would pronounce his name if it was actually Earl Can Bird he says "Oil Can Boyd."

Haha, love it. Not a Yankee fan but I grew up watching a lot of Yankees games. I have to admit I’ll always have a fondness for Scooter, White and Murca on WPIX.

My good buddy's gf has called Jud Apatow..John Appletoad...and my favorite Admiral Ackbar became Captain Aardvark

Literally only clicked on this just to see the responses to the mistake. I’m easily entertained. Lol

 

[jibsey]

I made the spelling mistake but how many of you mispronounced his name during his stay at UCONN at one time or another?

Only during the playoffs.
