And to honor this historic Jack Morris event…Sportsnet 590 will now be called Sportsnet 3.90!
Welcome back, Jack. A familiar face is returning to Toronto as former Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Jack Morris returns to the city where he won two World Series titles as Sportsnet’s newest Blue Jays analyst. Morris will provide analysis 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 at Noon and sportsnet.ca.
Best known in his playing days for his devastating forkball, the right-handed pitcher and five-time All-Star will forever be known to Blue Jays fans as the first 20-game winner in club history (21 wins) and for propelling his team into the playoffs for the first of their back-to-back World Series Championships in 1992 and 1993. Morris retired in 1995 and has spent time as a colour analyst for the Minnesota Twins and as well as a guest on Detroit Tigers broadcasts.
“I’m thrilled to be joining the Sportsnet team and to be returning to Canada, “said Morris. “I’ve had a lot of great experiences here and am looking forward to this next chapter. 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.”

1. The District Attorney Posted: February 05, 2013 at 05:39 PM (#4363375)Jack Morris?
His performance will only be as good as the game requires.
Blow out? He'll be singing show tunes by the 5th inning.
Nail biter? He'll be diagramming expected pitches with 100% accuracy.
If I know the BBWAA, there are likely some voters who have covered nothing but curling for the last 25 years.
"Sure, Alan Trammell was a good player, but he couldn't handle a broom to save his life. Jim Rice could slide a peel for a take-out, then bring the fear by brandishing his slider shoe right there in the hack. That's a Hall of Famer right there."
