Former Detroit Tigers television announcer Mario Impemba took to social media on Wednesday to thank fans and colleagues for their support following his ouster from the booth because of a September altercation with broadcast partner Rod Allen.
"The last three months have been challenging for both myself and my family," Impemba tweeted. "I would like to thank the countless Tigers fans who have reached out to me to offer support. I would also like to thank my broadcasting colleagues who have provided both support and encouragement.
"It was always my intention to return to the Tigers booth in 2019, but that decision was out of my hands.
