Don and Mud Mini Yacht Night - Padres Announcers Bobblehead

Back by popular demand, Don and Mud are re-embarking on the open seas for round two. The first Mini Yacht Night already sailed earlier this season and sent the Friar Faithful into a frenzy — so the Padres added a second one for Saturday, September 5, 2026 (vs. New York Yankees).

This is a Theme Game, make sure you know what that means. The package includes a ticket to the game, plus a Don Orsillo and Mark “Mud” Grant mini yacht bobblehead. Get it before it’s gone.

As Don says, “you gotta get the theme game ticket.”

About Don and Mud

Don Orsillo and Mark “Mud” Grant are the Padres’ TV broadcast team. Don handles play-by-play, Mud does color commentary. They’ve been calling games together since 2016.

The mini yacht bit comes from their broadcasts—one of those running jokes that builds over time until it becomes part of the show. The bobblehead captures that moment.

Their chemistry works because they’re loose without being unprofessional. They’ll riff on whatever’s happening in the game, go off on tangents about food or San Diego neighborhoods, and occasionally lose it laughing at something absurd. It’s the kind of broadcast where you might tune in for the game and stay for the conversation.

Padres fans who’ve been watching for years know the callbacks, the inside jokes, the way Don will set something up and Mud will knock it down. This bobblehead is for those people.
