Alec or Alex?

Hawthorne called it Alec. Everyone else I heard says Alex

I'm an Alec kind of guy, personally.

If it’s pronounced Alec, it should be spelled that way. Therefore I always refer it as Alex.

It is and has always been Alec per the man for whom it was named.

They should have made his middle name Alec if they wanted to call him Alec. His name wasn't even Alexander.

These threads make me hate Jim Hawthorne. One guy said it wrong for decades so everyone assumed it was pronounced the same way he pronounced Alex Edward as “Alec Edward.” Meanwhile the Advocate did an article and asked the family, who by the way was the great great nephew of Alex Box that never actually met him and he said “sure it could be Alec.”
Meanwhile here we are with the same thread for the thousandth time because the same guy that couldn’t pronounce Alexandria correctly called it “Alec” Box for decades.

He called Alex Edward "Alec Edwards" for four years. Alex's family should have met Jim in the parking lot for that.

You mean it's not "Elec?"

Some idiot calling one of the games earlier in the year called it Alec Boc and nobody corrected him.

I distinctly remember him pronouncing it “Alex Box” back in the 90’s listening to radio broadcasts. Then when I was a student it went to “Alec” then “Ellic”. He ended his career with an “Ellic Bocs”
