Found this all these years later and it brings a tear to my eye. This is living proof that Sports brings people together! Rivals like Boston and New York, in any sport, are people after all and we all know what it's like to feel hurt. So to see this wonderful example of solidarity from New York to Boston is just so heartfelt! Thank you New York and the Yankees from a Boston gal. 💋⚾️💜

This was a class act! Thank you Yankees New York... Tears are rolling down my face as I watch this. God Bless the United States.

This was so heartful to have a team play their biggest rivals's theme song in honor. Just shows how sports brings people together.

I just found this surfing while in quarantine. I got chills when the Yankees sang the chorus and standing up. Awesome move from the Yankees.

4.15.23. Ten years have passed, and we are stronger than ever. It feels like it was just yesterday. Man, does time really fly. Ehile I may have only experienced it through a television screen, the bombings affected my life in ways I could never imagine. I remember everything from that day, even all these years later. That day, I learned my most important lesson, one that would impact my life greater than I had ever imagined. I learned the true abilities of the human psyche, both of how awful it can be and how amazing they it be. I learned about violence, hate, and terrorism but also love, community, and strength. And while I didn't know it then, this pushed me towards a career in medicine and torwards the hospital and city I grew to love as a pediatric cancer survivor. Without the events of that day, I don't know what I would be like today or if I would have as much thrust as I do now, fighting every day until every child is well. Ans as the great Big Papi said, "You don't mess with our f--cking city." #bostonstrong 💙💛

As a Yankee fan, I'll always have words about the Red Sox. But both cities are now bonded and united in strength and patriotism forever! #BostonStrong 🇺🇸 #NewYorkStrong 🇺🇸

This shows what a great sport baseball is, because of the fans. This show of support from New York for their bitter rivals, then the ovations that Boston gave Jeter in his last game there. Respect for your opponent is character revealed.

Class act from the Bronx Bombers thank you for standing with Boston

As a New Yorker and a Yankees fan, it's sad to see the low class and heartless people who gave this tribute to Boston a "thumbs down". We might have a rivalry on the field but we're all Human Beings first and foremost. May God Bless the people of Boston and help them recover from this tragedy soon!

I bleed black & gold (Bruins) but if I didn't it'd be red & white. I've been a Red Sox fan since Carlton Fisk & Thurman Munson played (the rivalry was so awesome then). My daughter once asked me what would happen if she liked the Yankees (joking around) & I told her she'd have to move out (kind of joking lol). So, to the Yankee fans who actually sang, when I say you still bring tears to my eyes to this day for singing Fenway Park's attendees part of Sweet Caroline I hope you know how much gratitude is behind it.

My little girl Caroline, loved Boston...

Love it so much when music brings people together!

As a Yankees fan. We are one team in the game of life. We got your back

as a Yankee fan for life,I’ve seen the Yankees show class acts like this several times. It gives me great pride.Behind rivalry lies greater qualities.

Thank you so much for your kind words, rccvcc. I walked by the memorial site the city set up after they reopened Copley Square and Boylston Street. I never cried so hard; my family has been in Boston since 1903, and this was someone coming and invaded all 89.6 square miles of my home. Thank you, Yankees and the people of New York City!

RIP George you brought back the class to this organization ty

Holly crap that is sick and I am a big red sox fan for life since I am was a baby

We were and are all Boston Strong! America is stronger than any terrorists. Love you all.

Ordinarily...I hate the Yankees. I grew up in the shadow of Fenway Park. But this was real class on the Yankees part. Thank you guys.

A heartfelt gesture! Thanks so much NY!

Thank You New York! Feels so good to have you with us! Boston Strong!

We're With Ya, Boston! signed... a New York RED SOX fan!

First Class... From Boston

I'm a Red Sox fan, dislike the Yankees, but this was awesome, really was! Thanks Yankees

The good olds days life seemed so good the guy eating the ice cream 🍦 🍨 gets me laughing everytime god bless the united States 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

Thanks Yankees. This is very Classy! Thank You

I hate the Yankees with a passion, but this is such a class act moment in this rivalries history

God Bless NYC

Fantastic Neil Diamond!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇧🇷

Red Sox fan here. Way to do it with class and style Yanks

Boston Strong!

much love for doing that.

Respect from Arsenal fans! We play the same song after the game... Love the Yankees! 💕

I was there and as they were singing, I said "Are we at fenway?"

Every time I think sports are meaningless, I come across things like this.

I am a yankees fan.but we are one team.here no one mess with us.no one.go usage stand with boston.forever.

Best video right onn!! Pray for Boston still!!

I'm a yank fan from ny. They could've said we are playing this in tribute etc. maybe even the players wear the boston hat for an inning. They just played it and most of the fans weren't involved.

Boston your not alone

rccvcc! you are absolutely correct in my opinion. very good post

Boston has a whole nation behind them

A timeless ageless song

Not a yanks fan but very classy thank you Bronx bombers

we from boston love new york just like the celtics an lakers

and i know you from oursister city love us

From East Boston Classy NYC

How about that Neil Diamond is a native New Yorker. If you wont do it for Boston, do it for that reason. As a Bostonian, I think Fenway would play New York New York if the situation was reversed

That was when the two brothers did the bomb attacks

Welcome to KZfaq where people will thumbs down anything and everything.

The Yankees and Red Sox will always be rivals and now they are brothers

it was nice the played this song but more people could have sang along.When I heard about his I thought the fans more involved.

Thank you. This was a truly classy act by the Yankees organization. One question. As someone with tremendous respect for Jeter and Sheppard, why did they go to some rap video style intro for him today? Jeter himself looked pissed. He requested Sheppard's recorded intro be used for his at-bats. I'm happy to see Jeter back in MLB, but I was just baffled watching that. I respect the Yankees as an organization, but I just don't understand why they did that.

Great songs have no home.

good song

as a Cardinal fan, Very col!!!!!!!

Yes ston you do have a action behind you

Are you talking about at the end? When he said "So a nice moment here at the stadium." Because if so......what about it..

Growing up and into my mid 20s I HATED the Yankees. Over time that hate dissipated … as much as I might still root against the Yankees ON the field … it’s easy to respect them OFF it.

Nice of the organization to do that. Typical that only a handful of the Yankee fans participated.

This red sox song

Who gave a thumbs down on this?

...And be there Friday at Citi Field when we DO IT AGAIN

when did this happen???

I am Boston Fan And I Hate Yankees bout they Yankees Have Class all the Way

Isn’t Neil from New York? I know he might be from Brooklyn, but Nee Yorkers love Neil, so no reason to hate on the unofficial Red Sox anthem.

Yankees little brother

TELL THE AUDIENCE TO DOWNLOAD THE LYRICS ONTO THEIR SMART PHONES!!!!! then it would be even greater all round

What was wrong with the fans? They seemed to be having a good time.

Sorry but this isn't a patch on Northern Ireland football fans singing it. Give it a go, you'll see the difference.

can anyone find a video of boston singing ny ny after 9/11...cant find it

What was happening in Boston at that time?

It's really sad that other than the chorus no one knows the lyrics at all

Neil Diamond was in 1977, four days on Tour in Netherland.there were problems with the Hammond organ (110 Volt America-Europe 220 Volt) I'm approached by Lou van Rees Management for a solution to my Hammond Rent.After four days I got my B3 Hammond returned with Fire spots of @t frustrated me.They have me removed me from the Neil Diamond Fan Club because I had this listed on their site.Never Excuse of Neil Diamond ;-(

A class act definitely. response from fans in the crowd..disgusting!!

You took it all for granted , and now it’s gone!

0:43 Enjoying his magnum or ice pop is he?

funny.. no new york fan singing.. must be nice to think you are the center of the universe. and you wonder why nobody cheers for a low class team. I am Detroit tigers fan. and I will still cheer for the redsox. over the Yankees. And I like playing the Yankees in the playoff. it is a rest day for the tigers

What was this for again? At this time I was like 10

01:58

John 3:16-21

It was nice that the Yankees did it, but the Yankee fans didn't give a damn.

Great but why were they laughing like it was a joke? People died for crying out loud! To all the people who has serious intentions, thank you!

Did the announcer really say that " we're having a "nice little moment" because they're playing "Sweet Caroline". Seriously did I really hear that?

Koude rillingen

sorry if I offended you.

KZfaq was not around during 9/11 but, the assholes who attacked my city were going to attack your city and we would have stood behind 100% should something have happened. Thank God nothing did.

Go yankees

I agree!! it was the worst tribute ever!

I hate that song.
