Hence "Caray". However, if the announcer said "lay" before that, he loses points. "Le" is not pronounced "lay". It is "loo" as in the word "look".

What Joe said. And 'fortay' is the Italian pronunciation, I guess? No idea why they'd use that. *NM*

Probably because many Americans first become familiar with the word via its use in music
