Attending a Major League Baseball game is always enjoyable, and the postseason brings even more excitement as fans hope for their team’s victory. On October 6, 2026, Tom DeLonge, the lead singer of Blink-182, watched the San Diego Padres play against the Milwaukee Brewers at Petco Park. During the NLDS Game 3, something remarkable happened in the stands. The speakers began to play Blink-182’s hit song “All the Small Things,” and the crowd started to sing along.
Tom DeLonge was visibly moved as thousands of fans joined in singing one of the band’s most famous songs. When the lyrics mentioned, “Work sucks, I know,” he sang along with the crowd. An announcer noted how special it must be for a musician to hear over 43,000 people singing one of their hits in a ballpark. Fans of Blink-182 felt a renewed connection with Tom and the band. One fan reflected on appreciating the band’s music from their younger years, feeling it was only fair to sing for Tom after all the singing he did for them when they were young. Another fan expressed gratitude for having experienced the 90s.
