The Yankees have discovered one neat trick to remind players where Yankee Stadium is located.
7-6 in Game 5 to clinch the franchise's eighth championship. After recording the final out, the Dodgers all poured onto the field to celebrate. Eventually they moved to the locker room to cover the visitor's clubhouse in beer and champagne.
Sometime in between those two traditional baseball celebration moments, the public address system at Yankee Stadium played Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York," a song usually played after victories by the home team. Here's video of impending free agent Juan Soto watching the Dodgers while the song plays in the background.bench in their dugout, watching with his helmet on and a bat in his hands as the Dodgers celebrated their World Series win on the field. Yankee stadium is blasting New York New York by Frank Sinatra. What do we have to do to stop this? How could you possibly play THE YANKEES WIN SONG as the Dodgers celebrate eliminating the Yankees on the field?I know you play New York New York no matter what but you CANNOT do that tonight as another team celebratesStill can't get over the fact Yankee Stadium played Sinatra's "New York, New York" after losing the World Series in their own ballpark today 💀💀💀🤣The thing is, who cares? The Yankees play the song after losses, too. At this point it's apparently just used as a way to drive people towards the gates so they no longer have to hear a song so old it was released back in the '70s when the Yankees used to actually win World Series. The only people who should have been bothered by "New York, New York" playing was the Dodgers, because it was a reminder that they had a six-hour flight ahead of them.Stephen Douglas is a Senior Writer on the Breaking & Trending News Team at Sports Illustrated.
