Aase. I was fascinated by his name when I was younger. That ‘86 season he was awesome. As a kid and to this day I still get Tom Paciorek along with Dave and Gary Rajsich wrong. Harvey Kuenn was another. Doug Mientkiewicz was one more that springs to mind.

I learned Paciorek early on somehow or another. The others took forever and still trip me up sometimes.

No explanation of the pronunciation of Aase? As kids he was Don "Ass" and I don't think I know his real name to this day.

Bossy, saucy Aase.

This is where regional accents get in the way because in NY, bossy and saucy are pronounced AWW-see. Not AH-see.

Saucy, I could see, which is why I inlcuded "bossy." If you're a techie, maybe we could go with lossy, but then maybe that would suffer the same fate in NY.
