Detroit Tigers on TV: Who should replace Rod and Mario on the mic?

Tigers broadcasters Mario Impemba and Rod Allen got into a physical altercation. It was known by many that they are not close friends. Wochit, Detroit Free Press

It was made official on Tuesday that Fox Sports Detroit will not bring back Detroit Tigers announcers Mario Impemba and Rod Allen.

The pair worked together for 16 summers before an early September incident between the two got ugly.

So now, there are two presumed vacancies in the booth.

FSD host/play-by-play man Matt Shepard, a man of many hats around these parts, and Kirk Gibson, adored by Tigers fans everywhere, closed out the season.
