I saw him play as an Angel in 1974 at Baltimore's Memorial Stadium during a doubleheader that July. IT'S Joe (la-WHOOD) like "glued" and a hootty owl...LOL. I also heard his name and it was like that during a "radio game" on cd from Baseball Direct at
https://baseballdirect.com/baseball-...oadcasts/#1970. I've gotten help different times from them because I do player audios for MVP Baseball 2005. If you want to get a cd with him in the lineup...check the cd game day with Baseball Reference Dot Com. That site has all the teams' schedules in the early to mid-70's when he played with the Bosox, Brewers, & Angels. I LOVE listening to those old radio games.
If you have any other questions about pronunciations let me know.
Take care!
