In the comments...Yeah, they did it last year there. In the comments on that site you link, someone mentions how singing along to it an inning away from clinching the 2006 championship or whatever was the greatest moment of their life or something. Pukebarf. The the next person then rips the Red Sox, immediately giving me the feeling that that person rooted for the Yanks in the late nineties, the Mets in 86, the Yanks in the late 70s, the Mets in 69, etc, etc.<BR/><BR/>I was just as shocked last summer to hear Sweet Caroline at a Mets minor league game I went to. (http://letsgosox.blogspot.com/2006/08/another-place-another-train.html, scroll way down if you care to read my thrilling description of it) That seemed sacrelige enough. The fact that another major league park does it is an abomination. But this is the team whose own TV network calls itself "the home of New York Sports," instead of something more like the "We're the Mets and the Yankees effin Suck" Network.Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.com
