It’s often said that Frank Sinatra is associated with New York City, although he wasn’t actually born there. While Las Vegas could also lay claim to him, Sinatra hails from the nearby city of Hoboken, New Jersey. Given that Hoboken is visible from Manhattan, it isn’t too far-fetched for New Yorkers to consider him their own. In essence, being geographically close enough to NYC made him a New Yorker in spirit.
A significant part of New York’s affection for Ol’ Blue Eyes stemmed from his rendition of “(Theme from) New York, New York” being played at all New York Yankees home games, regardless of the team’s victory or defeat. This tradition started in 1980, meaning that if you stayed till the end, you were likely to leave the game with Sinatra’s tune echoing in your ears. It was almost like a comfort blanket for fans.
From now on, things will differ. The New York Yankees have declared this week that while the traditional “New York, New York” tune will still play following home victories, a different song will echo if they lose. A representative from the team confirmed this alteration to The Athletic.
New York Yankees make a change away from playing Frank Sinatra at all home games
This implies that Sinatra’s music may still be played following losses, but it’s not certain. For instance, last weekend after the Yankees lost a game in Tampa, Florida to the Detroit Tigers, fans exited the stadium humming to Sinatra’s “That’s Life.
This season, following a Yankees loss, we’ve decided not to play the song ‘New York, New York’. Instead, we’ll be switching up our tunes.
To put it simply, “New York Yankees games have played Frank Sinatra’s classic ‘My Way’ for 44 years, but it’s only sung after something positive happens for Yankees supporters – a win. If they lose, the song isn’t played. Interestingly, even when ‘My Way’ is often selected, its message still resonates when the team suffers a loss.
Other possible phrases could include “The Best is Still Ahead” and “I’ll Give it Another Shot.” Both these expressions seem suitable. They are also song titles associated with Sinatra. The possibilities are endless as to what songs the Yankees might play when they face defeat. It will be intriguing to discover their choice.
