So have I and lots of others been pronouncing Emma’s name wrong
The announcers pronunciation was bugging me but appears he was right. I thought it was Mazz-uh-rone. ** Edited by VTBUCKLEY at 2/21/2026, 8:19:01 PM

You mean it's not pronounced like macaroni? Mazzaronee!
Kidding....I'm with you, I thought the announcer was pronouncing it all wrong.

I thought it was Rone as in rhymes with zone.
But the announcer and Emma herself on Hokiesports sounds more like Mazza Wren

The name is EMazz. At least that's how she autographs my bats.
Fans have ordered 2 of them, family also have ordered 2.

Then have to hit the triangular play button.
Doesn’t look like it likes working in the link but does directly through hokiesports. That’s odd
