More on Wandy's Name

There seems to be a relevant bit of information missing from the article: Wandy was signed (and played in the minors) under an assumed name and an assumed age. (See http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bb/5752338.html for the Houston Chronicle article on this.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.184.240.38 (talk) 00:19, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree this should be mentioned. Here's a recent Sports Illustrated article on the subject and his rise through the minor leagues. [1]MichaelProcton (talk) 01:05, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Adjectives and NPOV

"Masterful" and "sparkling"? Not exactly adhering to NPOV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.184.240.38 (talk) 00:07, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ERA

"Rodriguez preformed decently in the World Series, though getting a loss, he posted a 2.45 ERA in the 4 losses to the Chicago White Sox." Uhm, Rodriguez did not pitch all four games of the World Series himself. Too sleepy to correct this right now.

Pronunciation of Wandy

Just wondering if anyone knows how his name is pronounced. For the entire season I thought it rhymed with Randy, but in the WS McCarver/Joe Buck keep calling him something closer to "Juan-dee". I'm PRETTY sure I've heard his name pronounced like Randy with a W on astros.com replays, but does anyone from the Houston area know for sure? Thanks. Drunkasian 04:55, 2005-10-26 (UTC)

Its pronounced Wand-y. Like Magic Wand. "Wahnd-ee"

Origin of name

Does anyone know the origin of the name Wandy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.25.217.11 (talk) 03:04, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
