Hall of Fame pitcher Jack Morris returned to the Bally Sports Detroit telecast booth Friday at Comerica Park, following a 23-day, 10-assignment suspension for his remark toward Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani.
When play-by-play announcer Matt Shepard asked how the Detroit Tigers should approach Ohtani in his upcoming at-bat in the sixth inning Aug. 17 at Comerica Park, Morris replied, "Be very, very careful." The 66-year-old used an accent that has been used to mock that of English-speaking Asians. The next day, he was suspended from his job.
