Sinatra's version of the song has played after games regardless of the result, but the post-loss soundtrack will now rotate
From now on, the Yankees will celebrate being the kings of the hill only if they've earned it. As announced this week, the Major League Baseball team has decided to end its tradition of playing Frank Sinatra‘s "New York,
New York, New York" after every Yankees game as the fans exit the stadium, regardless of whether the team loses or wins, has been a tradition. On 23 February 2025, however, it was announced that the New York Yankees would only play the song after the home victories.
The New York Yankees face the Toronto Blue Jays in a spring training game on Friday, Feb. 28, 2025 (2/28/25) at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida.
The New York Yankees will no longer play Frank Sinatra's 'New York, New York' following losses, changing a 45-year tradition.
