Black Jack is back.
Jack Morris, a four-time World Series champion and member of the 1992 and ’93 Toronto Blue Jays championship teams, is joining Sportsnet as baseball analyst for the 2013 season.
The 1991 World Series MVP will provide colour commentary for Sportsnet 590 The FAN’s Blue Jays radio broadcasts, and will also make appearances on Sportsnet’s Blue Jays game telecasts, Blue Jays Central, Baseball Central @ Noon and sportsnet.ca for the next three seasons.
“I’m thrilled to be joining the Sportsnet team and to be returning to Canada,” says Morris. “This has been one of the most exciting off-seasons that Blue Jays fans have ever seen, and I’m honoured to have the opportunity to be covering this amazing team for the next three years.”
On Tuesday, Sportsnet also unveiled its Blue Jays Grapefruit League broadcast schedule, including six games telecast on Sportsnet, 33 game broadcasts on Sportsnet 590 The FAN, and four games on Sportsnet 960 The FAN.
Sportsnet 590 The FAN’s 33 pre-season games will also be streamed live online at www.sportsnet.ca/590.
