According to Subway Squaker Lisa Swan, the Mets have brought back “Sweet Caroline” to be the sing-a-long song in the 8th inning.
Oh, wonderful.
The Mets seemed to realize that “Sweet Caroline” has already been claimed by another team, the Boston Red Sox. They tried to find their own identity, and allowed fans to vote for a handful of songs (or write their own in) to be chosen for the new 8th inning song last year. That led to the infamous “Rick Roll-ing.”
The Mets should stick to “Meet The Mets!” or some mix of their past anthems, both good and bad. Where is “Let’s Go Mets Go!,” “Chocolate Strawberry” or “The Metropolitans”?
Still… “Sweet Caroline” is a good song…
