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.
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.Editor's PicksAfter Sunday's 4-0 spring training loss to Detroit at George M. Steinbrenner Field, the Yankees played Sinatra's 1966 recording of"That's Life," a 1963 song by Dean Kay and Kelly Gordon.
The song, with music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, was first sung by Liza Minnelli for the 1977 Martin Scorsese film"New York, New York" and Sinatra performed it in a Don Costa arrangement for his 1980 recording"Trilogy: Past Present Future." For several years, the Yankees alternated the Sinatra version after wins and the Minnelli version following defeats. In recent years, the Sinatra rendition has been played after all final outs.
The Yankees said Friday they were ending their ban on beards, fearing the prohibition might hamper player recruitment.
