They have been a baseball broadcast team for 16 years, but now Mario Impemba and Rod Allen, as well as Fox Sports Detroit, are dealing with the aftermath of a reported physical fracas following Tuesday night’s Tigers-White Sox game in Chicago.
The Tigers television partners were suspended Wednesday and replaced for at least one night by Matt Shepard and Kirk Gibson.
According to a story first reported by The Athletic, Impemba and Allen had to be separated after they had an immediate postgame flare-up. The nature of their tussle was not known, although it is understood this has not been the first instance of tension between the pair.
