  1. References

Sherry Davis was the stadium announcer for the San Francisco Giants baseball team from 1993 to 1999. Davis gained immediate attention for becoming the first full-time female stadium announcer for a major league baseball team.[1] Davis, a legal secretary, won the job in an open audition, besting five hundred other candidates.[2] When the Giants relocated from Candlestick Park to the newly constructed AT&T Park (originally named Pacific Bell Park), the Giants declined to renew her contract[3] and replaced her with Renel Brooks-Moon. Papers from Davis' tenure as announcer for the Giants are archived at the Baseball Hall of Fame.[4]

In 2000, Davis became the announcer for the Saint Mary's College of California women's basketball program in Moraga, California.[5]

Davis was born and raised in Virginia,[6] and later graduated from College of Notre Dame of Maryland[7] with a B.A. in Theater. She was an actress in the classics at the Norfolk Theatre Center, 1968–76, when it had taken over the old Norfolk Public Library (Carnegie, 1904).
