Wait, nobody had ever asked the Mets players how to pronounce their names?

Really?  Nobody ever asked?

Castro, who grew up speaking primarily English, went to the Mets Clubhouse on one of her first days on the job and asked each player how they wanted her to pronounce their names. This meant a lot to many of the players, including the 11 Latinos in the 40-member team.

Hopefully it just SEEMED like nobody ever asked.  It took me a month to get Cespedes right.

This is from a nice profile of Marysol Castro, the Mets’ new PA announcer in NBC News.
