- Incident occurred when Japanese star came to plate
- Morris later said sorry to ‘anybody in the Asian community’
Detroit Tigers television analyst Jack Morris apologized on Tuesday night after using a mocking accent while talking about Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani.
On the Bally Sports Detroit broadcast of the Angels’ 8-2 win over the Tigers, lead announcer Matt Shepard was setting the scene with the Japanese star set to bat in the sixth inning with a runner on second and two outs.
I believe that is “Hall of Famer” Jack Morris, and it sure sounds like he’s mocking Japanese speakers on live television. https://t.co/Ar1Pp2GaiY
