The longstanding tradition following Yankees home games began in 1980 Fans won't be spreading the news after a loss at Yankee Stadium this spring. On Sunday, Feb. 23, the New York Yankees announced they would no longer play Frank Sinatra's "(Theme From) New York,

The Yankees will play Frank Sinatra's version of the “Theme From New York, New York” only after home wins instead of all games in the Bronx, going back to the original custom set by owner George Steinbrenner in 1980.

"New York, New York" was originally played following Yankees wins after Steinbrenner discovered Sinatra's version from his time as a DJ at Le Club in Manhattan. The song was initially performed by Liza Minnelli for the 1977 Martin Scorsese film "New York, New York" after music was created by John Kander and the lyrics were written by Fred Ebb.
