Ten years ago, Joe Davis was the voice of the Montgomery Biscuits. Tonight, he'll be on the call for the World Series.

“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.”

latimes.com/sports/story/2…
For the first time in 25 years of @FOXSports broadcasts, the World Series will be called by Joe Davis, not Joe Buck, who left Fox to join ESPN.

“The fact that it’s Joe makes me so happy,” Buck said.

latimes.com/sports/story/2… Image
Davis will get to experience time-honored World Series traditions, like color and pageantry, baseball legends throwing out ceremonial first pitches, and fan bases complaining that the national TV guy is biased against their team.

When a blue-ribbon commission met in 2015 to improve attorney ethics rules in California, a federal prosecutor named George Cardona was tasked with researching a proposed rule requiring lawyers to report misconduct by peers.

Thread 🧵
latimes.com/california/sto…
Forty-seven states already had mandatory reporting laws and two others had statutes stating that lawyers should make such reports. California was the lone exception.
latimes.com/california/sto…
In the Golden State, there was no expectation — much less an obligation — that lawyers alert authorities to wrongdoing in their ranks, no matter how egregious or damaging the misconduct.
