When Game 5 of the World Series ended with the Los Angeles Dodgers Celebration in Yankee Stadium, every fan of the pinstripes had to hear the timeless “New York, New York” by Frank Sinatra ring while they left their seats.
If losing the World Series was not enough, that song, which is played or loss at the Yankee Stadium during the season, heard salt for some.
Well, it seems Yankees -Tradition Will not be anymore, as a spokesperson for the team on Sunday at the New York Post confirmed that “Theme from New York, New York” will not play after losing the Bronx.

Instead, a rotation of songs is played after the Yankees loses at home. An example was Sinatra’s iconic tuning Detroit Tigers In George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida.
The Yankees have been a team with a long -term tradition, and it will stay that way. However, a few tweaks are being made on those traditions, and the song that is shining over the Yankee Stadium -speaking speakers is only the newest.
The biggest change, which has been asked by many on and outside the field, is a new facial hair policy.

The move was considered amazing because, since 1976, face hair a mustache was not allowed by a Yankees player, coach or employee. Now the general management partner Hal Steinbrenner announced on Friday that a “well -groomed” beard can be seen on the face of a player, coach or employee.
“In the past few weeks I have spoken with a large number of former and current Yankees – diverse different eras – to generate their perspectives on our long -standing facial hair and care policy, and I appreciate their sincere and varied feedback,” said Steinbrenner in the declaration .

“These most recent conversations are an extension of the current internal dialogue that dates for several years. Ultimately, the final decision lies with me, and after a major consideration we will change our expectations to have our players and uniformed staff taken care of well -cared for beards.
The team manual of the Yankees always reads: “All players, coaches and male managers are forbidden to show other facial hair than mustaches (except religious reasons), and scalp hair may not be grown under the collar. Long bakkebaeden and sheep spark carbonades are not specifically prohibited . “
What exactly regards a well-groomed beard is still to be seen, but this is a big problem for the Yankees and his fan base “seismic”, as long-term play-by-play commentator Michael Kay said it.
Yankees captain Aaron Judge, who said that he would not let a beard grow despite the control change, noticed where Steinbrenner shot through with players who may not want to come to the Yankees in the free agency because of the no-bear rule.

“I really didn’t think it was such a big problem until it grew up in recent weeks. I think the rule will be good. I think it will help many guys. If it will get us a few more players who help us Games to win, everyone will be on board for that, “said Judge.
With the no-more rule demolished (to a certain extent), and no more cheerful Sinatra is played after loss, the Yankees go into the 2025 season in search of the World Series with a new look and feel.
