On Wednesday, Impemba broke his silence by posting a message on Twitter for his supporters.

ā€œThe last three months have been challenging for both myself and my family. I would like to thank the countless Tigers fans who have reached out to me to offer support. I would also like to thank my broadcasting colleagues who have provided both support and encouragement.Ā 

ā€œIt was always my intention to return to the Tigers booth in 2019, but that decision was out of my hands.Ā 

ā€œAs a native Detroiter, I grew up in this city and chose to raise my family here. I will always view Detroit as my home.Ā 

ā€œI have spent 32 years building my professional reputation in broadcasting and stand by that reputation today. I truly appreciate the opportunity I had to broadcast for my home town team the last 17 seasons.Ā 

ā€œI look forward to what the new year may bring and to my next opportunity. Again, to those that have reached out, thank you for all of your support.ā€Ā 

A day later, Fox Sports Detroit Senior VP/General Manager Greg Hammaren released the following statement regarding Impemba and Allen.

ā€œRod and Marioā€™s unique and enthusiastic approach to Tigersā€™ broadcasts have created many lasting memories for Tigersā€™ fans. We have appreciated their commitment to baseball in Detroit and wish them all the best in the future.ā€

Dear Detroit Tigers, FSD: Please bring back Mario Impemba

Dear Detroit Tigers, FSD:

On behalf of many Detroit Tigers fans, I am writing to request that you please bring back Mario Impemba for the 2019 baseball season.

Late last season, you suspended Mario and his longtime broadcast partner Rod Allen following an altercation that took place in Chicago following a Tigers game against the White Sox. About a month later, you announced that both men had been relieved of their duties and that they would not be returningĀ for the 2019Ā season.

Though I certainly respect your decision, I am hoping that you hear me out.
