They have been a Detroit baseball broadcast team for 16 years — the only TV broadcasters many Tigers fans have known. But the days of Mario Impemba and Rod Allen calling games side by side may be over.
Impemba and Allen, as well as Fox Sports Detroit, are dealing with the aftermath of a physical fracas following Tuesday night’s Tigers-White Sox game in Chicago.
Impemba and Allen had to be separated after an immediate postgame flare-up in which Allen had Impemba in a choke hold, a source familiar with the event told The Detroit News. The source requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the incident.
