Hall of Fame hopeful and current Blue Jays broadcaster Jack Morris thrust Clay Buchholz into the spotlight recently when he accused the Red Sox hurler of using a spitball. The controversy became a national spectacle as Dirk Hayhurst and others joined the chorus of finger-waggers.
With the Jays in Boston to begin a three-game series, Morris apologized to Buchholz for starting a media frenzy that served as “an injustice” to the right-hander.
Via ESPN Boston’s Gordon Edes on Twitter:
Jack Morris sought out Clay Buchholz, told him he was sorry he took attention away from him. Said that was not his intent. “We’re cool.”
