October third, 2024

A day after delivering a memento into Petco Park's left-center discipline bleachers together with his homer in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series, Kyle Higashioka obtained a reward of his personal.

The Padres catcher arrived on the clubhouse on Wednesday to seek out a guitar leaning towards his locker. It wasn't simply any guitar, although. It got here courtesy of blink-182 singer Tom DeLonge, a devoted Padres fan who threw out the ceremonial first pitch earlier than Tuesday's sport.

“No way,” stated Higashioka, whose response was caught on movie by the membership's social media staff. “That is unbelievable.”

Higashioka, who got here to the Padres within the blockbuster Juan Soto commerce in December, is an avid guitar participant. He's even constructed a loyal following — teammate Jackson Merrill proudly hangs a signed photograph of Higashioka taking part in the guitar above his locker. It's the identical photograph Higashioka makes use of for his avatar on X.

Like a child on Christmas morning, the 34-year-old veteran instantly took his new toy to a room within the clubhouse, plugged it into an amp and cranked out a riff from the blink-182 hit “All the Small Things.”

Perhaps impressed, as soon as “Higgy” put down the axe, he dropped the hammer (once more) on the Braves, homering for the second consecutive night time. That drive sparked the Padres' five-run second inning of their series-clinching 5-4 win, setting off a raucous Petco Park crowd — music to his ears.
