I was at Umass Amherst when we won this, the riot police were waiting and the second we won they activated the anti crowd siren, sent in the horse division, threw flash bangs and fired pepper balls lmao, they dont fck around
Sweet Caroline was first played at Fenway Park in 1997 after a Red Sox employee in charge of music at the park played the song as a tribute to a friend who had given birth to a baby named Caroline. The song caught on and has played before the bottom of the eighth since. So there is an actual Caroline who this tradition stems from. She would be around 26 now.
Diamond was very friendly with the Kennedy’s then and he also went to some of the rallies he wrote this while on a plane and of course the Caroline is Caroline Kennedy
This is the way Jesus Christ deserves to be worshipped , with this much energy and love. But instead we sing about someone we don’t know that Neil diamond knew, named Caroline. Can we have both? Sure.. but do we have both is the question? Do we attempt to love sweet Caroline being played at the ball field and Jesus Christ with this much intensity? Will it be a sad day when it’s no longer played at Fenway? Sure.. but only because of what it represents and that being the unity it invoked. It’s not about the song or who is in the song, it is about the exaltation of a sports team and the love of that team.. It is idolization on some levels.
I was at Fenway fall 2022 when the Yanks rolled in. Judge was going for the record. "Sweet Caroline" is a forever moment for me. Oh, I'm an LA boy, was visiting a friend and bleed Dodgers Blue. Doesn't mean I can't see the beauty in other things baseball.
Some info on this 'new' sports anthem(that has since spread across the world): The Boston Red Sox started this tradition of singing along to Sweet Caroline over 20 years ago. Neil Diamond has given differing accounts of who the Caroline in the song is meant to be, but it's popularly understood to reference then-11-year-old and current US Ambassador Caroline Kennedy, daughter of Prez John F. Kennedy.
I love that pole that blocks the view. We have all sat there. GO SOX! it don’t matter how much we suck. Still won more than the Yankees. Unfortunately I can’t say curse words on RU-vid but eff it. FUCK U YANKEES
