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.

[@zxcvzxcvzxcvzxc]

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

[@user-cm1tx5mi6e]

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!)

[@therealal1713]

Did anybody cry hearing Vins voice 😪

[@TommyGrofcsik]

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

[@nate7892]

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

[@nate7892]

Vin*

[@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.

[@noelmunoz2571]

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

[@bencreighton8544]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Politano1955]

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

[@Politano1955]

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

[@swissbeats2k]

Joe Davis is terrible and boring.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@godzillatimmy]

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

[@gustavobautista7396]

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

[@mulletmanrobertvandamme505]

I got goosebumps right now. Thank you Joe.

[@Smouse168]

Damn. Hearing that made me emotional

[@bornfuct]

Dang…me too😢

[@chaviraruben]

Same here brother

[@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.

[@dodgerrichgee]

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

[@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

[@Seigerootz]

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

[@imgrizz.]

Thank you Joe for sharing that voicemail. RIP Vin 🙏🏼

[@bakerman10]

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

[@anthonykeene8849]

Bro… soon as I heard Vin’s voice I burst into tears 😭. Thank you for sharing this. Love you, Vin.

[@TalkDodgerstoMe]

This made me teary eyed! I'm so glad Joe sent the call to voicemail so he could share it with all of us

[@hectorcastle1187]

That was awesome 👏🏼

[@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.

[@cutriet]

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

[@joePARKS]

Grew up a Dodgers fan ... loved this segment

[@nicklutu]

Hearing that brought tears to my eyes

[@ThePastaFazool]

Vin called form a landline - that hang-up sound is classic.

[@radamrussell]

That. Was. Awesome. Great share Joe.

[@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.

[@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!

[@Bigmac736]

Great interview & Thank you Hearing Vinny was really special

[@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.

[@joshnumber3]

Hearing vins voice man that something so special 🥹

[@anthonyboyle5203]

Joe has been the best hire imaginable after Vin

[@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.

[@reneetmax]

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

[@briancalifornia]

I balled listening to that. Love Vin.

[@CurtisFaded]

Joe has been wonderful for the Dodgers. Oh what shoes to fill. Miss you Vin.

[@softwelveone]

absolutely! -- it takes *wisdom* to take Vin's advice (about being your self) and do it in a way that's appealing to television...

[@chaviraruben]

That was awesome

[@300gjw]

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

[@ronsagmit6030]

Loved that VM! What a class act

[@joshuabolton3866]

Bro’s voice is God given

[@jimbo7858]

Vin Scully narriated the 1st 40 years of my life and I'm happy Joe will take me home.

[@BIELS1]

Bro! Vin! Thank you Joe! Also hearing you Joe is now a sound associated with the Dodgers. As soon as i hear you speak, i feel at home.

[@Sosaaxz]

I have alot of respect for Joe Davis even though I grew up not liking LA

[@aaronm5401]

Joe is the best. There is no more suitable replacement for Vin.

[@daviddelancellotti2785]

So cool

[@nicklemonz]

Joe Davis is my favorite announcer aside from Bay Area sports guys

[@maxkoon1220]

🙏

[@CeeBertRN]

You can hear the phone click. Vin used an old fashioned home phone. That’s so old school. Miss you Vin!😢

[@cledet4544]

No one can replace Vin, but I am so happy The Los Angeles Dodgers found Joe Davis. He is truly a great announce. You can tell he truly listened to Vin Scullly and tell he took his advice to heart. I wouldn’t ask for anyone else to replace Vin Scully

[@randyrodarte4163]

Hearing Vin again had me crying

Joe Davis is no Vin.. but I really love listening to him!

Wow

Joe Davis is the voice of baseball for the dodgers, nfl on fox, and mlb on fox. He was mentored and shadowed one of the best. LA proud!!!

[@OIFVET02]

im an emotional mess hearing Vin.

[@tomogorman3947]

We were so lucky with Vin but honestly I think Joe is an equal. Or at least he will be after he finishes his career. I absolutely love listening to him call games. Best in the business at the moment.

[@riptheripper9060]

If you like Wikipedia, then yes.

[@RLebeauXXXIII]

What does he mean by national stuff? Like, national game of the week or something? Sorry, I don’t know much about baseball.

[@davidlee7092]

He's the primary baseball voice on Fox and the #2 NFL announcer. He calls most of the Baseball Night in America games on Saturday nights and calls the All Star Game, whatever League Championship Series Fox has, and the World Series. He's also going to be in Birmingham on the 20th for the Giants-Cardinals Negro League tribute game.

[@Freddy2Rumble]

Joe Davis is amazing. Crazy how his voice doesn't fit his description lol

[@FrankinDallas]

I don't believe what I just heard.

[@jackolantern22]

Vin is the greatest ever, but Joe's pipes are magical.

[@Twiggystar]

[@mrPOTatomuffins]

Joe Davis should call all dodger games

[@riptheripper9060]

He should call no Dodger games.

[@Shlikas]

Got real dusty in here all of the sudden. Damn this pollen!

[@Politano1955]

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.

[@colepriceguitar1153]

I hated scully’s calls, impressed that he did it for like 500 years though.
