Tom DeLonge has been a San Diego Padres fan his whole life, and Tuesday night at Petco Park, the Padres faithful repaid the loyalty in the best way possible. During Game 3 of the National League Division Series, the stadium broke into a full singalong of Blink-182’s“All The Small Things,”and FOX Sports cameras caught DeLonge in the stands smiling, nodding, and waving a yellow rally towel as he fought back tears.
The moment capped off a big night for San Diego, who beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 to take the game, doing it without All-Star Mason Miller, who’s on paternity leave, and pitcher Adrian Morejon, who’s sidelined with a shoulder injury. DeLonge’s history with the team runs deep: he threw out a ceremonial first pitch back in 2024 and even gifted catcher Kyle Higashioka a guitar. Meanwhile, Blink-182 are quietly having a busy stretch, fresh off a private Coachella Valley show with Rock For People 2027 and June dates in Berlin, Paris, and Milan already confirmed.
It’s the kind of music-meets-sports moment that reminds you why both things matter so much to people. A hometown guy, a hometown team, and a song that forty thousand strangers somehow all know by heart. What’s the best crowd singalong you’ve ever been part of? Tell us in the comments.
