Dodgers announcer Joe Davis, the voice of Fox Sports in the World Series, talks about what he's looking forward to seeing in Diamondbacks vs. Rangers.
You’re Joe Davis. You’re about to call the World Series. Congratulations — or condolences? No sooner had the Arizona Diamondbacks eliminated the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday than the fan refrains erupted: Bad World Series matchup! Bad markets! Bad ratings! As the World Series starts Friday, with the Diamondbacks facing the Texas Rangers, I checked with Davis to make sure he was still excited.
There is no reason for a fan to be concerned about what makes Fox happy, but which teams are playing is less important to Fox than how long the series lasts, because more games means more commercials means more money. “If you had given Fox execs an ALCS choice before the season — a four-game Red Sox-Yankees sweep or a seven-game Rangers-Astros series — every single one of them would have opted for a Game 7,” wrote John Ourand in Sports Business Journal.
