How do you pronounce ‘Moises’?

It rhymes with “voices,” as well as “choices.”   My parents said it that way as far back as I remember.  It was only when I took up high school Spanish that the teachers wanted me to put the accent elsewhere, but I politely declined.

Do you know Moises Alou?

No, but I did get his bobblehead when they gave them away at Pac Bell Park back in 2006.moises_alou_bobble
