Kevin Millar played an integral part in helping the Boston Red Sox break the "Curse of the Bambino" in 2004, coming back from 3-0 to defeat the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series on their way to winning the team’s first World Series since 1918.

Millar played for the Red Sox from 2003 to 2005. In the 2004 ALCS against the Yankees, he hit .250 with a .754 OPS and scored four runs.

The World Series champion got truly acclimated to the timeless tradition of the Red Sox playing the Neil Diamond classic "Sweet Caroline" in the middle of the eighth inning during his time with Boston. Millar, now an analyst on MLB Network and a co-host of "Intentional Talk," told Fox News Digital in a recent interview he believes singing the tune at Fenway Park is one of the best traditions in sports.

"When I was in the minor leagues we had ‘Put Me in Coach.’ And that was really cool. Then, all of a sudden, I became a Red Sock and in the bottom of the eighth inning, when they started playing ‘Sweet Caroline,’ I don’t think there’s anything better," Millar said.

"The entire stadium is sold out. Little kids, moms, dads, grandparents singing. It is such an awesome tradition. When the music stops and the fans and the crowds take over to the rest of that song, it’s what it’s all about. I just think that there’s nothing better in all of sports, especially in baseball stadiums, with that theme, in that song."
