Attention, Giants Fans!

<p>San Francisco makes history by hiring the first woman announcer
</p>
<p> While the San Francisco Giants were in the Arizona desert
working off their winter flab, back home in Candlestick Park a
little bit of history was unfolding. Five hundred candidates
turned up for open auditions to become the team's new stadium
announcer, but none of the dozens of experienced sports
broadcasters vying for the plum platform got the nod. Instead
the Giants will start a rookie--a legal secretary from Walnut
Creek, California. On opening day, April 5, Sherry Davis will
become the first woman ever to be a full-time pro baseball
announcer. The pay: $75 a game. Davis, a longtime baseball buff
with training in TV-commercial voice-overs, has a smooth
delivery the front office hopes fans will prefer to the gab
prevalent around the league.
