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.

KING - Actually, BB's post is quite redundant as he's posted the same comment under the other Tolly story. It's also way off topic (another fitting criteria) and a tad bit crazy, so to that I say, "Welcome, to laGROSSa nostra, BaltimoreBob!"

I wonder if Tolly got it in this weekend during the snowstorm. Will he be a 58 year old daddy too?

Baltimoreboob, that is the same rhetoric that was used by brothas back in '69. Get over it. Your rant has no place here. Oh, by the way what was your Unit? When were you in Nam?
