good times never seemed so good.....

ok, so this evening.......boston evened things up with ny 5-3....many pitching changes...one needed a scorecard....literally to keep track of who was on the mound......and at some point...the boston fans stood up and sang......sweet caroline........by neil diamond.......npr ran a sweet piece on the phenomona this morning between the time i left the house and the time i walked into work......many theories about why this song is sung.....as it is clearly not a baseball song......

Where it began, I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growing strong
Oh, wasn't the spring, whooo
And spring became the summer
Who'd believe you'd come along

Hands, touching hands, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
I've been inclined to believe it never would

And now I, I look at the night, whooo
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two, oh
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can I hurt when holding you

Oh, one, touching one, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
Oh I've been inclined to believe it never would

Ohhh, sweet Caroline, good times never seem so good

i suppose it is the good times that never seem so good that make it a fun song to belt out...especially after a few sam adams.......better still if boston is up on the baords..............
