Neil Diamond Makes Rare Appearance to Sing “Sweet Caroline” at Fenway Park: Watch
Good times never seemed so good at Fenway Park Saturday (June 18th), when Neil Diamond made a rare live appearance to sing his 1969 hit “Sweet Caroline” in person. The musician went out to the ball game to promote the long-delayed opening of his new musical Neil Diamond: A Beautiful Noise, joined in the stands by the play’s star Will Swenson. “Sweet Caroline” has been an 8th inning staple at Sox games since the tradition began 25 years ago, and Diamond has even come to Fenway to sing it himself twice before — once in 2010 and again in 2013.

Even with the Sox down 10-2 against the St. Louis Cardinals, Fenway was overflowing with fans e...
