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

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.
