When game 5 of the World Series ended with the Los Angeles Dodgers who celebrated at Yankee Stadium, each striped fan had to listen to the timeless “New York, New York” by Frank Sinatra, playing while leaving their seats .
If losing the World Series was not enough, listening to that song, which reproduces gain or loss in the Yankee Stadium throughout the season, salt poured salt for some.
Well, it seems that the tradition of the Yankees will no longer be, since a team spokesman confirmed to the New York Post on Sunday that “New York theme, New York” will not play after losses in the Bronx.

Instead, song rotation will be reproduced after the Yankees lose at home. An example was the iconic song of Sinatra, “That’s Life”, which played after the spring training defeat on Sunday against Detroit’s Tigers in George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida.
The Yankees have been a long -standing team, and it is still like that. However, some adjustments are being made to these traditions, and the song that sounds on the Yankee Stadium speakers is just the last.
The greatest change, which many have requested on and off the field, is a new facial hair policy.

The measure was considered impressive because, since 1976, facial hair other than a mustache was not allowed by any Yankees player, coach or staff member. Now, the General Hal Steinbrenner partner announced Friday that you can see a “well -fixed” beard on the face of a player, coach or staff member.
“In recent weeks, I have spoken with a lot of previous and current yankees, which cover several times, to obtain their perspectives on our long facial hair policy and preparation preparation, and appreciate their serious and varied comments,” said Steinbrenner In the statement.

“These more recent conversations are an extension of the internal dialogue on the course that dates back several years. Ultimately, the final decision falls to me, and after a great consideration, we will modify our expectations of allowing our players and uniformed personnel arranged beards in the future.

Now, what exactly considers a well -arranged beard remains to be seen, but this is a big problem for the Yankees and their admirers basis: “seismic”, as expressed by the game commentator per game for a long time Michael Kay.
The Yankees captain, Aaron Judge, who said he would not be increasing the beard despite the change of rules, said what Steinbrenner hinted with respect to the players who potentially did not want to join the Yankees in the free agency due to the rule Without blessing.

“I really didn’t think it was so important until it was mentioned in the last two weeks. I think the rule will be good. I think it will help many guys. If you get a couple more players that will help us win games, everyone will be on board For that, “Judge said.
With the discarded non -beneficial rule (to some extent), and no more optimistic synatra that is played after a defeat, the Yankees go to the 2025 season seeking to return to the World Series with a new appearance.
