On Sunday, as the Padres’ Fox Sports San Diego broadcast celebrated National Baseball Card Day, Mark Grant did the unthinkable:
He popped a stick of 29-year-old gum from an old pack of cards into his mouth as partner in crime Don Orsillo egged him on.
It was not good. (“It’s like disintegrating into powder,” Grant said as he regretted his decision immediately.)
But it was good TV.
More often than not, according to the folks who read the Awful Announcing website, the Padres’ broadcasts are.
The duo and analyst Mark Sweeney came in at No.
