Bobby Avila Stats

Bobby Avila was born on Wednesday, April 2, 1924, in Veracruz, Veracruz, Mexico. Avila was 25 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 30, 1949, with the Cleveland Indians. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Bobby Avila baseball stats page.
"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)
