Tom DeLonge moved by Padres fans singing Blink-182 hit

Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge had an emotional reaction during a San Diego Padres playoff game against the Milwaukee Brewers. During the eighth inning of Game 3, the crowd at Petco Park sang the band’s hit song “All the Small Things,” a tradition similar to the Boston Red Sox’s use of “Sweet Caroline.”

DeLonge, a lifelong Padres fan from the San Diego suburb of Poway, was seated behind home plate when the song played over the speaker system. Television cameras captured him appearing to tear up as the crowd of over 43,000 sang along. He later joined in the crowd's revelry during the track.

The Padres won the game 4-3, keeping their postseason season alive. The series currently holds a 2-1 advantage for the Brewers.
