Former Major League Baseball pitcher Mitch Williams was awarded $1.5 million by a state court jury in Camden Tuesday in his breach of contract suit against MLB Network.
The network canceled Williams’ broadcaster contract after media reports said he hurled profanity and threats at an umpire and players during games of his son’s youth baseball team. But Williams maintained that the reports of improper behavior were completely false, and asked the jury to reject the network’s claim that he had violated the “morals clause” in his contract.
