The New York Yankees are planning to play Frank Sinatra's version of "Theme From New York, New York" only after home wins, MLB.com reported Sunday. The franchise previously played the iconic song after both wins and losses at Yankee Stadium.

Frank Sinatra's "Theme from New York, New York" will no longer be played following Yankees losses in the Bronx. The change to the longstanding tradition dating back to 1980 comes days after the Yankees changed their facial hair policy.

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 City claimed Frank Sinatra decades ago. He wasn't originally from the city, and Las Vegas could claim him just as much, but Sinatra was from nearby Hoboken, New Jersey, and that was close enough for New Yorkers.

Scott Effross of the New York Yankees has battled back from numerous injuries. He has overcome several back surgeries and most recently Tommy John surgery. He came into this spring with high hopes. The hopes faded away temporarily Tuesday afternoon as he exited the game against the Minnesota Twins after only throwing one pitch in the eighth inning at Hammond Stadium in Fort Myers.
