I only know this phenomenon as it relates to the Sox: it's played at some
point in the late innings of every game at Fenway Park, either during the
seventh-inning stretch, or when we need a rally, or when Trot Nixon's at
bat. Why? I honestly have no idea, and I don't think anyone else does
either. I mean, playing "Dirty Water" after the Sox win at home, another
Fenway tradition, at least makes sense.

Wait, I saw this movie too -- doesn't it take place in New England? It
might have to do with the Sox connection.
