New York Mets Rick Rolled

This is probably the best news story I've seen this year:

The Mets will have a runoff to determine their new eighth-inning sing-along tune.

The organization received 5 million votes on its Web site after inviting fans to choose from among 10 selections to potentially replace Sweet Caroline. An issue arose, however, when FARK.com readers bombarded the Mets with gag votes for a write-in candidate: Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up.

The Astley tune actually won

I really hope the fans all go nuts when the Astley song comes up so that it's the selected one. That would be so tragically awesome!
