It continued with The Sundays\u2019 \u201cHere\u2019s Where the Story Ends,\u201d Daniel Powter\u2019s \u201cBad Day\u201d and R.E.M.&#8217;s \u201cEverybody Hurts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The playlist shifted to the soothing sounds of Savage Garden\u2019s \u201cTruly Madly Deeply,\u201d Paula Cole\u2019s \u201cI Don\u2019t Want to Wait\u201d and the Cranberries\u2019 \u201cLinger.\u201d The songs then were accompanied by Sox season highlights on the center-field video board. It was practically sensory overload for the poor Guardians.<\/p>\n<p>The Sox also played the Crash Test Dummies\u2019 \u201cMmm Mmm Mmm Mmm,\u201d Eric Clapton\u2019s \u201cWonderful Tonight,\u201d Sixpence None the Richer\u2019s \u201cKiss Me\u201d and Snow Patrol\u2019s \u201cChasing Cars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t the first time the Sox tried messing with a Cleveland team. In April 2002, the stadium music director greeted Cleveland pitcher Chuck Finley with Whitesnake\u2019s \u201cHere I Go Again,\u201d a reference to Finley\u2019s divorce from actress Tawny Kitaen, who starred in the rock group\u2019s videos.
