re: Pronouncing Alex Box Stadium

So nobody with firsthand knowledge of how it was pronounced ever told anyone anything?


Hawthorne pronounced Rogie Magee as RO-GEE. Rogie was from my hometown of Bogalusa and he always pronounced his name Rah-jee yet Hawthorne was corrected on live Radio during a game and said that he pronounced it that way because he was told that’s how Magee pronounced it. Uh, no he did not.

So Hawthorne’s story of the Family of Alex Box pronouncing it as “Eleck” (his pronunciation) is questionable at best.
