Bill Shaikin: It's your first World Series, Joe Davis. Be ready for the haters on social media.

Joe Davis speaks onstage during the Fifth Anniversary Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation Blue Diamond Gala at Dodger Stadium on June 12, 2019, in Los Angeles.

Ten years ago, Joe Davis was the voice of the Montgomery Biscuits. Can he recall the team colors?

"Of course," he said. "Butter and blue."

Life was good. He was 24, and he was getting paid to call baseball games.

"I was doing games for a team with a mascot that was a biscuit with eyes," he said, "and a slab of butter for a tongue."

The voice of the Biscuits is now the voice of the Dodgers and, starting Friday, the voice of the World Series.
