When match 5 of the World Series ended with the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrating the Yankee Stadium, each fan of the fine stripes had to hear its timeless “New York, New York” by Frank Sinatra by leaving their seats.
If losing the World Series was not enough, hearing this song, which is played in victory or defeat at the Yankee Stadium throughout the season, paid salt on the injury for some.
Well, it seems that the tradition of the Yankees will no longer be, as a team spokesperson confirmed to the New York Post Sunday that “New York, New York” will not play after the defeats in the Bronx .

Instead, a song rotation will be played after the Yankees lose at home. An example was the emblematic melody of Sinatra, “That’s Life”, who played after the defeat of the Sunday spring training at the Detroit Tigers by George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida.
The Yankees have been a team with a long -standing tradition, and that remains. However, some adjustments to these traditions are underway, and the song that goes up on the Yankee stadium speakers is only the last.
The biggest change, which has been called by many on and off the field, is a new facial hair policy.

This decision was considered astonishing because, since 1976, the hair hair other than a mustache has not been authorized by any player, coach or member of the Yankees staff. Now, General Partner, Hal Steinbrenner, announced on Friday that a “well -maintained” beard can be seen on the face of a player, a coach or a staff member.
“In the past few weeks, I have spoken to a large number of old and current Yankees – covering several eras – to arouse their perspectives on our longtime hair and grooming policy, and I appreciate their serious and varied comments “Said Steinbrenner in the press release.

“These most recent conversations are an extension of the internal dialogue in progress which dates back several years. In the end, the final decision rests with me, and after a great consideration, we will modify our expectations to allow our players and our Uniform employees to have well -designed parts The beard advancing.
The Yankees team manual read: “All players, coaches and male leaders are prohibited from displaying hair other than mustaches [except for religious reasons]And the hair of the scalp may not be grown under the collar. Long favorites and sheep chops are not specifically prohibited. “”
Now, which considers exactly a well -maintained beard, but it is a big problem for Yankees and its fans base – “Seismic”, as the gaming commentator said for a long time.
Captain of the Yankees Aaron Judge, who said that he would not push a beard despite the change of rule, noted what Steinbrenner had hinted at the players who did not want to join the Yankees in free will in reason for the rule without portage.

“I really didn’t think it was so serious until it was high in recent weeks. I think the rule will be good. I think that will help a lot of guys. If that makes us a more couple Players who will help us win matches, everyone will be on board for that, “said the judge.
With the rule without abandoned portage (to a certain extent), and more optimistic Sinatra being played after a defeat, the Yankees go to the 2025 season which seek to return to the World Series with a new look.
