Baseball Hall-of-Famer and Bally Sports Detroit color analyst Jack Morris was back in the booth Friday, marking the end of a 10-game suspension for seemingly imitating an Asian accent during an at-bat by Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani in August.
Before the baseball began, though, the former Tiger still had a little cleaning up to do.
Morris, 66, issued an on-air apology to Ohtani, saying that he "appreciated the opportunity to work with a bias training group" and now realizes that "my words are important."
"I again would like to sincerely apologize for my insensitive comment that I made in my last broadcast," Morris said.
