The New York Yankees dropped their ban on beards Friday, 49 years after it was imposed by owner George Steinbrenner.

The strains of "New York, New York" won't be heard over the loudspeakers this season after a Yankees loss as club moves to rotation of other tunes.

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.
