Joe Davis Shares the Vin Scully Voice Mail He Got When He Landed Dodgers Job | The Rich Eisen Show

[@andrew_nathan_rps9100]

As a dodger fan, hearing Vin’s voice again after all these years brought a tear to my eye. Vin would be so proud of What Joe’s done as the voice of the dodgers.

[@exedis]

Yeah I'm with you. Life Long Dodger fan here and hearing Vin's voice absolutely brought a manly tear to my eye. You're doing great Joe. Love hearing your broadcasts here in Tennessee along with my Dad whose grew up listening to Vin's broadcasts on a little radio in Southern California. Go Dodgers!

[@pokeyinla]

Perfectly said.

[@JorgeSalazar-c4t]

Me, too😢

[@zxcvzxcvzxcvzxc]

wow hearing vin’s voice again brought a tear to my eye

[@AlfonsoAranzazu]

You can see Joe's emotions and the entire room is silent listening to a legend, chills.

[@changeofpacecar]

Even when leaving a voicemail, he had a rhythm and cadence that will never be matched (Vince also literally hung up the phone!)

[@planettelex-g9j]

I got to hear that voice talking to me on the phone once “hi David, this is Vin Scully”… yeah, I can tell, Vin 😅

[@ApexBlueTLX]

Joe Davis will one day be one of the greatest sports broadcasters to ever call baseball...mark my words. His voice has always been iconic and his sense of humor in the booth is perfectly suited for his role. Every time I watch a home dodger game, it's comforting knowing hes calling the games with Orel. Keep doing what you're doing Joe, we love you in LA man!

[@300gjw]

If he stays with the Dodgers for a while he will be.

[@riptheripper9060]

Those two are the most boring duo in baseball. Eric Karros and Stephen Nelson are much better. Joe Davis spends his days writing Wikipedia notes. So predictable.

[@TheGodfather1955]

You're joking, right? Davis and Orel can put you to sleep even in a game 7 thriller.

[@TheGodfather1955]

@@riptheripper9060 Totally agree. Don't understand the appeal of Davis. So painful and boring to listen to

[@swissbeats2k]

Joe Davis is terrible and boring.

[@leighmedley]

Rangers fan here. Joe's calls in game 1 of the World Series still gives me chills when I hear them. Seager's homerun and Garcia's game winner in extras. His voice is a gift. Vin's voice mail is a treasure.

[@TommyGrofcsik]

Win for Vin. Thanks Joe, so many people just got all choked up.

[@ernie306]

Dude, that was emotional to hear Vin’s voice in the voicemail. Thank you for sharing that with us Joe. Vin is a national treasure.

[@ryanc9876]

I definitely would make so many back-ups of that voice mail. It's a once in a lifetime type of treasure. It's sad to think there's so many young fans out there who'll never get to experience a Vin Scully broadcast live. Probably the best part of watching through those years of their struggles in the earlier part of my life.

[@noelmunoz2571]

Man Vin Scullys voice is perfect for welcoming someone to the ball park

[@nate7892]

Von scully was such a kind soul and great storyteller a true embodiment of a great man.

[@nate7892]

Vin*

[@rysher004]

I'm not a Dodgers fan, but I used to listen to Dodgers game before Vin retired. I loved the way he was able to paint a picture of the game and make you feel like you were right there next to him. Like he was telling just you this story. Listening to that voice-mail took me back to those times. It was truly serendipitous that he sent it the call to voice-mail because he has a little something that not a lot of people have.

[@godzillatimmy]

Instant chills INSTANT as soon as I heard Vin's voice. RIP to the legend

[@CrzyMav]

Wow! Brought tears to my eyes. I never met VIN but when he passed away I cried l😢like a baby. I’m sure you cherish that recording. That is something that no one will ever take away. I heard it in your voice after you played it. Man I miss Vin.

[@johnfarr2738]

That voicemail is priceless! Just to hear Vin’s Voice again is just wow! Joe Davis I hope you are nothing less than a success filling huge shoes! But to have Vin leave you that message is really special!

[@richieisevol]

Thank you Joe for allowing us to hear Vin Scully’s voice once again. I hadn’t realized how deeply I missed Vin’s presence until that voicemail played, and I found myself choked up as tears filled my eyes. Vin Scully is truly one of a kind, an irreplaceable legend. While no one will ever be quite like him, Joe Davis has more than proven himself, surpassing all expectations. In his relatively brief career Joe has already delivered some remarkable and unforgettable calls. Thank you for honoring Vin’s legacy while making your own unique mark on the game.

[@OXR1200]

Wow, you realize how impactful someone you've never met in person is, when you well up just hearing their voice. Thank you Joe.

[@bencreighton8544]

Vin's voicemail? Absolutely priceless. What a treasure you have there, Joe. And by the way, you are truly a worthy successor.

[@Seigerootz]

Thank you Joe for sharing that with us it was like hearing a long passed loved one

[@mulletmanrobertvandamme505]

I got goosebumps right now. Thank you Joe.

[@therealal1713]

Did anybody cry hearing Vins voice 😪

[@camionerosfurgoneros5915]

I'm 50 and yes😢😢 I did cry

[@Rob_Corona]

Vin, we miss you! This made me emotional. Not sure if anyone connected better with listeners, fans, players, and so many through his radio and television broadcasts. Joe is an excellent successor to the GOAT Mr. Scully

[@radamrussell]

That. Was. Awesome. Great share Joe.

[@tlmarshall21]

Awesome Joe & Rich...Listening to Vin Scully is something shared with My Grandpa often on trips to DODGER Stadium, Fishing Trips, or just kicking back watching on TV. Not only did I get Vin back for a moment, I got My Grandpa back as well. RiP to them both!💙🤍

[@Bone89]

I love hearing experiences like what you shared. Baseball on radio created so many great memories for so many throughout the country. I grew up on a farm in Kansas. Royals on radio was a must. No matter what kind of work we were doing. I would have given anything to tune into a Dodgers game. Now, as a 53 yr old, I listen to old Vin Scully games on old time radio as I fall asleep. The best ever.

[@tlmarshall21]

@@Bone89 I'll be 53 in September. We just grew up in a simpler time. My Wife always found it funny that I would listen to the DODGER Radio Station during National games instead of watching TV.

[@nomercyinc6783]

best announcer after scully we could have asked for. there isnt a better announcer in all of baseball. his voice. his timing. his energy. hes meant to be a dodger announcer for life

[@pyrosaxplayer12]

Joe Davis has been an incredible successor to the legendary Vin Scully. As a die hard dodgers fan, it was a big adjustment when Joe signed the big contract with Fox, getting less Joe Davis in Dodgers but gifted NFL games with his great broadcasting skillset. He's done the world series, he will soon get a shot at the biggest game on TV, the Superbowl! Joe Davis is a legend!

[@bakerman10]

Joe is awesome, by the way. He's not Vin, but a worthy successor indeed.

[@myronjenkins9788]

Vin was the broadcaster in the booth when I went to my first MLB game in 1965. Koufax was on the mound, Dodger Stadium, I couldn’t have had a better start. Later on, I flew to LA in 2016 and 2017 for the Scully ceremonies, a pilgrimage, to see Vin and Sandy again. I listened to Vin with the MLB app, catching every home Dodger game I could from home. To hear Vin in the 2010s, still alert and on top of his game and profession, be able to tell us first hand stories of Jackie Robinson, the classic Dodgers teams on the 50’s, and more, is something you can’t do again. It was special. Good luck to Joe as he creates his own history.

[@dodgerrichgee]

Wow that voice mail even sounded like play by play! What an awesome thing to hear and to have!

[@robair99]

Joe does a good job. Vin taught me baseball, sportsmanship. Such a classy gentleman.

[@jebegbert]

I grew up with the voice of Vin Scully. I loved the Dodgers, but perhaps it was Vin Scully's narration of what they were up to that made the difference. But I am also so glad that Joe Davis is our guy these days. He's amazing...and I especially love the Joe Davis/Orel Hersheiser tandem. Go Dodgers!

[@Bigmac736]

Great interview & Thank you Hearing Vinny was really special

[@thecafezil]

I was a diehard Yankee fan until 1962 when Vin Scully converted me into a Dodger fan. He was a one-of-a-kind. Encyclopedic knowledge of the game combined with endless, mesmerizing stories. Later in life, the Padres became a major league franchise, and I began to root for my home team. However, when they played the Dodgers, I always made a point to listen to Scully’s account of the games.

[@gustavobautista7396]

Damn, that was cool hearing his voice. Took me back to being a kid.

[@artjogo]

Thank you Joe for sharing that. Man, that was awesome to hear his voice again. For the record I enjoy hearing you and the great Orel Hershiser broadcast the Dodgers as well and I'm sure Vin would be proud.

Amazing voice mail. Thanks for sharing Joe. Love to hear your voice calling Dodgers game.

[@richstrobel]

I watched some college highlights, maybe from a few years ago, and it sounded like Joe Davis' voice. Anyway, I'm glad he's announcing Dodger games and loved his call of Heywerd's home run the other night. It was the fourth one in the inning and a no doubted so Joe was very excited.

[@nicklutu]

Hearing that brought tears to my eyes

[@richardsong7732]

[@300gjw]

That would be like having a VM from Elvis or one of the Beatles. Very cool.

Vin was using a land line too. What a legend.

[@FrankinDallas]

I don't believe what I just heard.

[@TheGodfather1955]

Okay, replacing Vin is an impossible task. We all agree on that. The problem with Davis is he's so young he doesn't know much about MLB history and vintage players names. Every story he tells about the past is totally scripted and obviously fake. He's okay for regular season TV broadcast but he was painful and boring in the World Series. (Him and Smoltz were terrible.) All you have to do is watch other teams broadcast and announcers to realize he's not even close to most. I guess he seems to get a pass because its the Dodgers, but sometimes it seems like he's announcing a chess match.
