Preferred pronunciation of name?[edit]

How did Durocher pronounce his name? The French way (roughly "Due row SHEA")? Some "Americanized" way ("DUE Row sure"/"Due ROW sure"/"DUE Roacher"/"Due ROACHer")? (All caps = primary stress; first letter capitalized = secondary stress.)

He pronounced it "duh ROW sure". He tended to talk fairly fast, so it came out like "d'ROW'sh'r". ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 17:24, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

When he appeared on The Beverly Hillbillies, the Clampetts deliberately mispronounced it as "DOO-row-sure", to be funny. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 18:18, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
