    Please no
    I have to ask why no ? 
    Up here it's a sort of "fairweather fan" song. More for the people at Fenway for the scene than the baseball game. Plus, Neil got to sing it there himself!
    That was my read on it... popular with the pink hat crowd but not the diehard Sox fans. 
    Bingo. They handled their local musical nods perfectly last time, bringing out Tom Hamilton and J Mascis.

    ND has 50 songs better than Sweet Caroline.
    Accoustic Holly Holy to open up one of the encores would be better.
    You missed the point at Fenway Sweet Caroline is played during the 7th inning stretch ughh oh boy ...


    One of the worst traditions ever too.

    I vote hard no.

    This weekend we rock Portland

    It's become a Fenway Park tradition. The shows are at Fenway Park. I have no problem with it if Pearl Jam were inclined to give a nod to Neil Diamond.

    No.  In fact, I wish the Sox would stop playing it too.

    Meh. I was always a pretty rabid Neil Diamond hater. And for a long time, I would just leave my seat in the middle of the eighth so that I didn't have to witness this atrocity. But when I started bringing my daughter to games, she absolutely loves "Sweet Caroline." So it doesn't bother me so much anymore. Now I just think of the smile that it puts on her face, and that's so good, so good, so good.. 
    I SAW PEARL JAM
