"Like Bob Lemon, Al Rosen, and Bob Feller, Mexico's Bobby Avila was one of Cleveland's true stars of the 1950s. That status was remarkable considering that Avila was a professional soccer player - and dreamed of being a bull fighter - before he learned how to play baseball from a book authored by former big league pitcher Jack Coombs." - Baseball: The Biographical Encyclopedia (Total/Sports Illustrated, 2000)
