When Game 5 in the World Series ended with Los Angeles Dodgers celebrating at Yankee Stadium, every fan of Pinstripes had to hear Frank Sinatra’s timeless “New York, New York” rigor out when they left their seats.
If it wasn’t enough to lose the World Series, it poured to hear the song played win or loss at Yankee Stadium throughout the season, salt on the wound for some.
It seems that the Yankees tradition will not be anymore, as a team spokesman confirmed to the New York Post on Sunday that “New York theme, New York” will not play after loss in Bronx.

Instead, a rotation of songs is played after Yankees loses at home. An example was Sinatra’s iconic melody, “It’s Life” that played after Sunday’s spring training loss to Detroit Tigers on George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida.
Yankees has been a team of long -lasting tradition and it still is so. However, some adjustments are made to these traditions, and the song blowing over the Yankee Stadium speakers is just the latest.
The biggest change that has been called on by many on and off the field is a new facial hair policy.

The move was considered amazing because since 1976 there was nothing but a bart not allowed by any Yankees player, coach or employee. Now, General CEO Hal Steinbrenner announced on Friday that a “well -groomed” beard can be seen on a player, coach or employee’s face.
“In recent weeks I have spoken to a large number of past and current Yankees – spans several eras – to induce their perspectives on our long -standing facial hair and care policy, and I appreciate their serious and varied feedback,” Steinbrenner said in the statement .

“These recent conversations are an extension of the ongoing internal dialogue that stems from several years. Ultimately the final decision with me, and after a great deal of consideration we change our expectations to give our players and uniformed staff the opportunity to have good plagued beards that move on.
Yankees’ TeamManual used to read, “All players, coaches and male leaders are forbidden to show any other facial hair than bart [except for religious reasons]And scalp hair may not be grown under the collar. Long sideburns and sheep chops are not specifically prohibited. “
What exactly considers a well-groomed beard to see, but this is a big thing for Yankees and its fanbase “Seismic,” as long-time play-by-play commentator Michael Kay put it.
Yankee’s Captain Aaron Judge, who said he would not grow a beard despite the rule of rule, noticed what Steinbrenner hinted at players who would potentially not join the Yanke in free agency because of the non-Beard rule.

“I really didn’t think it was so big of a deal until it was brought up over the past few weeks. I think the rule will be good. I think it will help a lot of guys. If it gets Us a few more players who help us win games, everyone will be on board for it, ”Judge said.
With the non-Beard rule scraped (to an extent), and no more optimistic Sinatra played after a loss, Yankees is on its way into the 2025 season looking back to the World Series with a new Look and feeling.
