You're mad, sir. "Was" and "Oz" are a perfect rhyme.
(Whatever symbol you choose to use to represent the
vowel.)
They aren't. It isn't the Wizard of Uz. It *is* 'we wuz
robbed'.
Maybe in rural outskirts of Cleveland.
I rather doubt that Joe Jacobs grew up in the rural
outskirts of Cleveland.
Who?
Max Schmeling's Jewish-American manager, who famously said
'We wuz robbed!'.

Did they name your stadium for him?

M-W has [az] and [w@z, waz] (s.v. be!)
M-W OnLine has, using its symbolism, /'w&z/ and /'wäz/. Its
/&/ represents both [V] and [@] ('\&\ as a and u in abut'),
and stress mark in /'w&z/ suggests that they're talking
about the stressed form of the word: [wVz], then [wAz].
Does the printed version use other symbols, or did you
simply misunderstand them?
<a> is for their a-umlaut,

Not the best choice, since you put it in square brackets.

I have no idea what you mean by <[A]>.

M-W's a-umlaut is the vowel of "father."
