LOS ANGELES — Jessica Mendoza expected to have a long and detailed meeting with Joe Davis last Friday before she sat beside the Dodgers' TV play-by-play announcer and became the first female analyst on a Dodgers broadcast, but one thing happened and then another and there was no time for them to discuss who would say what and when.
They knew each other a bit as they had shared an agent years ago, and would run across one another when their broadcast dreams were still crystallizing.
"We were really just nobody and trying to figure it out," she said. After Davis got the Dodgers job, Mendoza would make a point of saying hello when she came to watch the team she'd rooted for while growing up in Camarillo.
