Tigers catcher Alex Avila has been with the team for four seasons, and still, people mispronounce his last name.
Own our Alan Lee prefers the more traditional 'AH-vee-lah' as opposed to the 'a-VEE-la' pronunciation used on broadcasts.
The
issue isn't a new one for Avila, the second generation Cuban-American
whose father is the team's assistant general manger. He admits he
doesn't mind his name pronounced either way, but when it comes down to
it, Alan's method is correct. "That's the way it's supposed to be
announced," says Avila.
