Question...

[BSL63087]

During tonight's game in the middle of the 8th inning (and I've heard it during other games I've watched on TV) there is this song that plays during the middle of the inning and like the crowd sings along and it sounds really cool and unique and all... My question was, what is this song called? Anyone know where I can get the lyrics? And how and why does the crowd sing along with this song?

 

I hope someone out there knows what I'm talking about. Thanks in advance for your help.

Are you talking about Sweet Caroline ( Neil Diamond ) ?

They play it at Fenway every game in the middle of the 8th inning. It's been going on for a while now.

 

Where it began

I can’t begin to knowin’

But then I know it’s growin’ strong

 

Was in the spring

And spring became the summer

Who’d have believed you’d come along

 

Hands, touchin’ hands

Reachin’ out

Touchin’ me

Touchin’ you

 

Sweet caroline

Good times never seemed so good

I’ve been inclined

To believe they never would

 

But now i

Look at the night

And it don’t seem so lonely

We fill it up with only two

And when I hurt

Hurtin’ runs off my shoulders

How can I hurt when I’m with you

 

Warm, touchin’ warm

Reachin’ out

Touchin’ me

Touchin’ me

 

Sweet caroline

Good times never seemed so good

I’ve been inclined

To believe they never would

Oh, no, no

That's the one. Too bad he's having a hard time selling out Bank North Garden ( tickets selling below face ).

Play at Fenway during the 8th and his problems are solved. That would be one awesome rendition.

Maybe the promoter should join TalkSox. Good idea on the performance though.

Thanks you all especially Calvn... I thought it was cool how all the fans were singing along with it and I can't wait to go in person

It is a cool tradition. even when the Sox are losing that allways seems to brighten up the mood.
