Two days ago it was almost impossible to picture, but on Tuesday night, “Sweet Caroline” rang out in Yankee Stadium and New York fans were singing along rather than showing off the worst aspects of their bitter rivalry with Beantown. The Red Sox anthem played at the end of the third inning as the Yankees played the Arizona Diamondbacks, and followed a pregame moment of silence for the Boston bombing victims. Neil Diamond approved, tweeting, “Thank you NY Yankees for playing ‘Sweet Caroline’ for the people of Boston. You scored a home run in my heart. With respect, Neil #OneBoston”
