Hall of Fame pitcher Jack Morris, a main cog in the Detroit Tigers’ 1984 World Series championship run, took it upon himself to help “police” the team’s clubhouse back then.
But it wasn’t just Morris’ voice that was loud, with teammates Alan Trammell (also now a Hall of Famer), Lance Parrish, Lou Whitaker and many others also willing to speak up.
“We had accountability in our clubhouse,” Morris, now an analyst for Fox Sports Detroit, said before Friday’s loss to the Washington Nationals at Comerica Park.
