    Joe Davis is a sports broadcaster and analyst, who is one of the voices of the Los Angeles Dodgers alongside former Dodgers player and 1988 World Series champion Orel Herscheiser for Sportsnet LA under the Charter Communications franchise. Although he has voiced iconic moments for the Boys in Blue, he started his journey back in 2006 where he was the voice for the Beloit College Buccaneers' men's and women's basketball team as well as a fill-in for the Loyola Rambler's men's volleyball and women's basketball team. From then on, he would work for ESPN calling football, baseball, basketball, and hockey. In July of 2014, he would be hired by FOX Sports where he calls college football and basketball. It wasn't until November of 2015 where he was hired for the Los Angeles Dodgers as an alternate play-by-play commentator alongside Charlie Steiner for games that were not called by Vin Scully. After Scully's retirement from the conclusion of the 2015-16 season, Davis became his successor, calling the action for the 2017 season. Although he does not view himself as Scully's replacement, he has showcased Scully's storytelling focus throughout each and every ballgame. Joe is also a family man as he is married to wife Libby and a father of daughter Charlotte and son, Blake. On the premiere episode of “Your Story”, I speak with Joe on the transition from working in a packed stadium with thousands of fans in attendance to an empty ballpark.
