Yankees will play Sinatra's ‘New York, New York' only after home wins, returning to original custom
The team said various songs will be used after losses. 'New York, New York' first was played at the end of Yankees wins after Steinbrenner learned of Sinatra's version from a disc jockey at Le Club, a Manhattan restaurant and disco, former team media relations director Marty Appel told The New York Times in 2015. Advertisement 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. Hal Steinbrenner took over in 2008 as controlling owner from his father, who died in 2010.
