Dodgers play-by-play TV broadcaster Joe Davis will call the World Series beginning this season, replacing Joe Buck.
“I always thought, ‘Of course, Joe Buck’s going to be at Fox forever,’” Davis said. ‘“Joe Buck’s always going to be calling the World Series.’”
Buck has called 23 World Series for Fox since 1996, voicing some of baseball’s biggest moments for a quarter-century. Davis believes Buck is the greatest broadcaster of his generation. Expectations are high. There’s pressure. But nothing, not even replacing Buck, compares to taking over for Vin Scully five years ago.“The best advice that Vin gave me when I first started here in L.A. was the same advice that Red Barber gave him, he said, when he started in 1950,” Davis, 34, said.
“What people will hopefully come out of those broadcasts saying is: ‘I didn’t know Joe was the Dodger guy, I wouldn’t know watching this broadcast,’” Davis said. “And I take a lot of pride in that, in being able to flip that switch.”Al Michaels will handle play-by-play and Kirk Herbstreit will provide color commentary for Amazon’s ‘Thursday Night Football’ streaming NFL telecast.
