I grabbed some examples of his pronunciation of Encarnacion and put them together in a sound file. I’ve uploaded the file to the Vocaroo audio sharing site.

His pronunciation really is something you have to hear for yourself. Ok, that was pretty funny. Thanks for sharing. I only vaguely remember Thorne from ESPN. He’s most notable to me as the guy who started the story about Curt Schilling’s bloody sock being fake. Around here, I get the Indians on the radio and Tom Hamilton is as good as they come. However, when he’s off, they got another guy that is just dreadful. And I don’t know if it’s always the case, but the Indians’ radio announcing crew is a one man show. Hamilton can pull it off. This other guy, Rosenhaus I think, gives you so much dead air you wonder if you lost the signal half the time. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-encarnacion-its-not-that-hard/789468)._
