During the bottom of the eighth inning of Game 3 of the MLB postseason between the San Diego Padres and the Milwaukee Brewers, Fox cameras captured Blink‑182 guitarist Tom DeLonge watching the Petco Park crowd sing "All the Small Things," the song playing over the stadium speakers.
DeLonge, a Poway native and lifelong Padres supporter, was seated behind home plate and appeared visibly emotional as fans joined in, a moment described as a "defining moment for millennials" by Bleacher Report.
The song has become the Padres' version of "Sweet Caroline," traditionally played in the eighth inning of home games. The Padres won the game 4‑3, keeping their postseason hopes alive, and will host Game 4 the following night.
