I played in the league they were in. The League President was on the Elite Giants. He pronounced it E leet Giants. So did all of the other players. But what do I know, my short term memory is off.

The history books say otherwise.

What year? What league?

The reason I remember the pronunciation is because the books actually make a point of the pronunciation. They go out of their way to make it clear.

I just now looked online a couple places. They all do it too. This includes the web site of the Negro Leagues Baseball Players Association:

Their nickname is pronounced "EE-light" with a Southern twang.

What team did you play for? What position?
