Joe Davis Earns Sports Emmys Nominations

Vin Scully’s 67-year tenure as the Los Angeles Dodgers’ play-by-play announcer came to an end in 2016 when he retired and passed the mantle to Joe Davis, who took over full-time beginning with the 2017 season.

Scully was a staple of the Dodgers, and his time with the team remains the longest of any sports broadcaster with one organization. That left some mighty big shoes for Davis to fill, but he has been up to the challenge and has thrived in his role as the Dodgers’ announcer.

Davis’ time with the Dodgers began in 2016 when he was hired by SportsNet LA to serve as an alternate play-by-play commentator for games Scully did not call. He is also the lead play-by-play announcer for FOX Sports’ MLB coverage and serves as a FOX NFL play-by-play announcer.

His tenure with the Dodgers and FOX Sports has been well received by fans and critics alike. This is reflected in his Emmy nomination in the Outstanding Personality/Play-By-Play category for the 46th iteration of the Sports Emmys award show.

Davis is also nominated in the Outstanding Live Special – Championship Event category for his work with FOX covering the 2024 World Series between the Dodgers and the New York Yankees.

The nominees for all 47 categories were announced on Tuesday.

The award winners will be chosen by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences on May 20 at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall in Manhattan. Tickets for the event go on sale beginning on Friday.
