I was just about to turn off the debacle that has become today's game when I heard that damn song playing before the 8th inning, which reminded me of this site...they actually did it...they RickRolled the Mets

2. Wiki's already on top of it!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickroll#New_York_Mets

On April 4, 2008 many web communities, originating with Fark.com, urged their readers to vote "Never Gonna Give You Up" for the 8th inning sing-along at Shea Stadium for the New York Mets season. The Mets posted a web poll to select a song, and left a blank field for write ins.

On April 7, 2008 the Mets organization announced "Never Gonna Give You Up" as the winner with more than 5 million votes. However the Organization recognized that most of the 5 million votes were not from true Mets fans. A run off between six songs will be done live at Shea Stadium for the next six days. The Mets organization "Rick Roll'd" the fans on April 8, 2008 in the middle of the 8th inning.
