They sing “O Canada” before games involving the Blue Jays (and once upon a time, the Expos).

They always sing “O Canada” before the All-Star game. Always have.
Fox simply refuses to include it in the broadcast.

They play this crappy song at every Yankees home game. With two outs in the top of the 7th, it is time for me to make a trip to the little boys’ room. Hate when the inning ends on a double play.
YMCA is usually in the 5th when the grounds keepers groom the field. You can see that they’ve gotten tired of their little bit of performance art.
Yankees don’t do Sweet Caroline, but they do have Cotton-Eyed Joe, and “New York, New York” at the end (usually Frank Sinatra’s version, but I’ve occasionally heard others).

Sweet Caroline is generally a Red Sox tradition. As for “New York, New York”, the Yankees play the Frank Sinatra version after a win and Liza Minelli after a loss. God how i love to here that excruciatingly horrid voice of Liza’s.
Where’s the love for Cotton-Eye Joe?
I’m offended by “God Bless America” mostly because it SUCKS. It’s trite, insipid CRAP. Anything else, in my mind, is incidental.
