Help, Yankiverse, help! What's John's homer call for Brennan Boesch?

It's off Boesch, by gosh!

A summer squash... from Boesch!

Brennan, you're no lemon!

All along the Boeschtower, said the joker to the bee, there's too confusion, I can't get no relief!

Well...?

I've been out of the country. Who's Brennan Boesch?

JM said...

I can't figure out how to pronounce his last name. Bow-sch? Bay-sch? Ber-sch?

Guess I know too much German. Boe means it was actually spelled with an umlaut over the o. When a keyboard doesn't have an umlaut, you can type oe to denote that's how it should be pronounced.

How that gets Anglicized seems like a crapshoot in the pronouncing department. Is there a site where I can click on player names and here them spoken out loud?

What's with 'Brennan', anyway? Was he named after the character on Bones? Does he even look like a Deschanel? Maybe Sterling should say 'Dr. Brennan makes his bones'. More people would get that than a 50s musical reference.

Whatever.
