Fans won't be spreading the news after a loss at Yankee Stadium this spring.

On Sunday, Feb. 23, the New York Yankees announced they would no longer play Frank Sinatra's "(Theme From) New York, New York)" at the end of a game, should the team lose at Yankee Stadium.

Instead, they will be "rotating through a number of different songs" following any Yankees losses per The Athletic. "None of them will be ‘New York New York," the publication adds.

PEOPLE reached out to the Yankees for comment and did not receive an immediate response.

On Sunday following a loss to the Detroit Tigers during spring training in Tampa at George M. Steinbrenner Field, Sinatra's "That's Life" played after the final inning.

The tradition dates back to 1980 when George M. Steinbrenner heard Sinatra's song out at a nightclub. He obtained a cassette tape of "New York, New York" and played it on the speakers at Yankee Stadium, liked what he heard, and immediately reached out to Sinatra's team.

"Sinatra wrote back and said that he would be very pleased to have the song played at the stadium," John Fugazy, the Yankees’ marketing director at the time, told The New York Times in 1980. "After one game, I noticed people were standing in the aisles at their seats listening or singing the song. And this was after the team lost."

Per the MLB, the team experimented with playing Liza Minnelli's rendition of "New York, New York" whenever the Bronx Bombers lost for a short time. The Yankees also tested out a version of the song sung by Sinatra and Tony Bennett in the '90s, but nothing beat Sinatra's booming voice following a day of baseball.

Upon learning about the song changeup, fans shared their collective relief online. "Finally! Long overdue and good solution to keep Sinatra in rotation," one said.

"I actually love this change. Always felt weird walking out of the stadium after a loss and hearing 'New York, New York.' 'That’s Life' is the perfect choice," another chimed in. "Playing "My Way" after a loss would be objectively hilarious," a third commented, referring to another Sinatra hit.

Someone pointed out that hearing "New York, New York after losing the World Series was embarrassing," referring to the 2024 World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Bronx.

"You always make it there, you make it anywhere/It's up to you, New York, New York," just didn't hit the same after a loss, anyway.

This change for the Yankees organization comes days after the longstanding rule about facial hair - dating back to 1973 — had been amended.

General managing partner Hal Steinbrenner said in a statement shared online that he spoke with "a large number of former and current Yankees – spanning several eras — to elicit their perspectives on our longstanding facial hair and grooming policy."

“I appreciate their earnest and varied feedback,” Steinbrenner, 55, said, noting that the discussions have been part of "an extension of ongoing internal dialogue that dates back several years."

“Ultimately the final decision rests with me, and after great consideration, we will be amending our expectations to allow our players and uniformed personnel to have well-groomed beards moving forward. It is the appropriate time to move beyond the familiar comfort of our former policy,” the statement concluded.
