Dodgers’ Joe Davis Shares Candid Feelings About Leaving Los Angeles
Joe Davis revealed he hopes to remain the voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers for the remainder of his career, he revealed in a new interview with the Awful Announcing Podcast.
“I don’t see it going anywhere assuming that they’ll continue to have me,” Davis said. “This is my ninth year. It’s flown by. We love Los Angeles. My wife loves it here. There have been situations where potential opportunities to go back to the midwest, where we’re both from, and every time that comes up she’s made it – ‘no, we’re not leaving here, the weather’s too nice out.’ It’s too great. This is kind of home now. We have three kids who are in the school year.”
Davis replaced the late Vin Scully as the Dodgers play-by-play broadcaster, an immense responsibility given his legendary predecessor was all Dodgers fans had known since 1950.
Davis is also the baseball play-by-play commentator for Fox Sports during the World Series. The 36-year-old announcer also has a slew of other national assignments including NFL games, college football and baske
tball.
