There are doubtless Sweet Caroline purists who will insist this is an eighth-inning tradition and that if there is no eighth inning there is no Sweet Caroline. Given how iconic this singalong is to Red Sox Nation it is unlikely the Sox take this stand. While it is certainly possible for a seven-inning doubleheader game to go into a modified form of extra innings it is by no means guaranteed. The eighth-inning purists would likely hear a chorus break out regardless should the song be saved, like a closer on the road, for an opportunity that never arrives.
The seventh inning. While certainly a sweet rumor, it's not the truth. In reality, Boston has a woman named Amy Toby to thank. Toby was put in charge of picking out music to be played at Fenway from to and she really liked the song "Sweet Caroline," so she played it. The song didn't take off as the unofficial anthem of the Red Sox though.
That would take a couple of years to happen. The Debate. Breaking News. Written By. Share share-square So how did this somewhat goofy tradition start? But that's when Steinberg suggested it become tradition. Here we are, 19 years later. It is a tradition that shows no signs of ending anytime soon.
