By the way, it's only the citizens of a very cool city who pronounce "Worcester" as "Woostah". (Non-natives pronounce with an R at the end, as Wooster.) It made me laugh so hard to hear Tim McCarver pronounce "Worcester"-- "Tanyon Sturtze is a native of WORE-chester"!
My dad lives in Michigan, but he lived in Mass long enough to learn how to know how to pronounce Worcester. Anyway, he told me about how out in Michigan, this young kid from Worcester is drafted to play for a minor league baseball team. He's not the brightest bulb, but he plays ball well. I think it was shortly after the Worcester fire or something because he was getting a lot of questions from the local reporters about his hometown. Unfortunately, he didn't even know what they were talking about because they keep on asking him about Woar-chester.
Lol, that's great.
