No!!!
seen GAR, dammit.
¡Cojone!
He qualifies.
How could I let a thread like this go by without mentioning Dick Butkus?
Or Dick Pole?
I once knew a woman named Charlotte Reeks.
I often wanted to write lyrics for a lugubriously optimistic song that opened with something like…
I may be poor as a sharecropper,
And ugly as sin,
But Charlotte Reeks.
Or Dickie Thon, whose name sounds like an event in the sexual olympics.
Well, I watch Pirates broadcasts when I can get my hands on some Dramamine first, and sadly they go well out of their way to pronounce it Coonts…a tremendous shame because it might actually make the games worth watching.
Here’s his Pirates bio…notice the pronunciation yet again:

His wife’s name is Salli.
Terribly innocuous. If I had a girlfrend named Kuntz and could give her her first name, I might consider Silky.
How about you.
Not a sports reference but I went to school with a kid whose last name was Golightly
Always made me giggle
I have 26 year old husband who giggles at Pujols. :rolleyes:
Oh yea my last name means bitch in Punjab.
I always thought it was appropriate 
Bradley and Crisp were on the Indians together for portions of 2002 and 2003, though Crisp wasn’t a starter most of the time.
“And Pujols goes deep off Colon!”
Sorry for the hijack, but I gotta know-- was that a spanish-english dictionary? In spanish (mexican spanish) it’s a ch- sound.
I’m sorry to hear you have only one testicle, they make implants now, y’know.
Actually, the Cubans would use the singular as I did here. I never thought about it until you brought it up, but as I replay my 1950’s mentall tapes, that’s what they’d say. Not cojones but cojone. Sort of like our “Oh shit!” Could be they just dropped the ess, though.
Now, Ashes ashes, can you dope out why some Cubans would often say to us swabbies, “Geev me one cigarette.” (Their emphasis) True. Tell me why.
Who could forget the best named NFL player: Harry Colon!
How could we go 36 posts without mention of The Big Unit, Randy Johnson? Bonus points in the UK, randy = horny.
Here, too.
randy
Function: adjective
Etymology: probably from obsolete rand to rant
1 chiefly Scottish : having a coarse manner
2 : LUSTFUL, LECHEROUS
(Merriam-Webster’s caps, not mine.)
So, did we decide that Don Blasingame was indded the name that could not be uttered by Spanish broadcasters, as proposed by the OP?
No one seems to have come up with anything else, so far…
I would love to see someone come up with anything.
The Spanish-speaking baseball announcers, come to think of it, could just Americanize the pronunciation of Blasingame and deal with it that way.
Ah, but Boyer.
I chuckle just thinking about how that would come across in a nice Mexican or Cuban home. The parents and kids sitting there in the living room, listening to the game when “Cunt takes it down the middle for strike.”
Back in the 50’s…
In GTMO city, in the town square right next to the Church, there’d always be a radio assault to the prayerful folk’s ears inside the Church.
