Jacob Tyler Realmuto is a native of Oklahoma. Over-pronouncing his name in a Spanish manner would be like insisting on pronouncing Charles Nagy's surname as "nodge," like Imre Nagy. Which I sometimes did.
I also pronounced Chuck Knoblauch's surname, which means "garlic" in German, in the German manner when I was feeling pedantic. Otherwise I called him Charlie Garlic.
I wonder if anyone ever told Bob during Ryan's and/or Jordan's time here that "Zimmermann" is German for carpenter?
