Better late than never, veteran sports broadcaster Don Tollefson has become a father at 57.

Congrats to Tolly and wife Marilyn Torres-Tollefson, 35, who welcomed a daughter, Gabriella Laura, at 12:42 a.m. today.

“I’m a 57-year-old first time daddy, and it feels terrific,” Tolly told us by phone earlier.

Gabriella weighed in at 7 pounds, 15 ounces and she and mom, who works part-time at QVC, are both doing great.

Tolly, who spent many years at Fox 29, is now doing some work on 97.5 The Fanatic/950 ESPN.

Hey, if the Stones can keep on rolling . . . . I mean, Mick Jagger is still using women's eggs for target practice at the ripe, fossilized old age of 103, so why can't Tolly at 57?
