Neil Diamond at Fenway Park? There will be Klan rallies with less white people…

@af607105: Oh! Sorry -- had to reread the item to clarify that this was an ad for Diamond at a ballgame, not the regular playing of the song. As you were...

@Chris Molanphy: They played Rick Astley at yesterday's Mets game. Neil is played in (I think) the 8th at every Red Sox game.

@af607105: Forget Neil Diamond, I'd camp out for Rick Astley. "It Would Take A Strong Strong Man" is my anthem!

@Chris Molanphy:
If instead of Neil Diamond, it was actually a Rick Astley concert?? That would be a mighty Rickrolling indeed.

Confused: did they play Rick Astley or the dreaded Neil at this game?

YUCK. "Sweet Caroline" is a travesty. If Henry, Werner, and Lucchino are so dedicated to the history of the franchise, they should spring for an animatronic John Kiley in a booth above the triangle.

YUCK. "Sweet Caroline" is a complete travesty, even in Fenway. If Henry/Werner/Lucchino are so devoted to the history of the franchise, they should pony up for an animatronic John Kiley planted over the triangle.

This concert is going to be huge. I was at the game yesterday and when his face was shown, the place went nuts. People will be camping out for this.
