Joe Davis Named Fox’s Lead Baseball Voice After Buck Leaves

On Friday, Davis was named Fox Sports’ lead baseball play-by-play announcer. Davis takes over for Joe Buck, who left Fox for ESPN’s Monday Night Football. Buck was Fox’s lead baseball announcer since the network started televising games in 1996, calling 24 World Series and 22 All-Star Games. Davis’ debut as Fox’s top voice will be May 28. He is already used to working with analysts John Smoltz and reporters Tom Verducci and Ken Rosenthal after doing some games with them last season after Buck cut back on regular-season games.
