Ralph Avila was a revolutionary figure within the Dodgers franchise, as one who spent over 50 years involved with the team and their relations with the Dominican Republic. On Monday, Avila passed away at the age of 92.
The former Dodgers scout was devoted to growing the MLB, as he helped pioneer MLB’s inroads to the Dominican Republic. Avila’s son, Al Avila, who is a former general manager for the Tigers, said his father died of natural causes at his residence in Miami.
As someone who spent multiple decades with the Dodgers, Avila showed immense support and dedication to the organization.
