YANKEES THEME SONG (INSTRUMENTAL) FROM THE 70'S Always played it on WPIX NY Channel 11 during the Yankee broadcast on TV. Always got goose bumps when it went on. Yankees Rule!!!
I remember when the games were on 77 WABC radio in the late 80’s and John Sterling coming on to do the post game and his voice was buried in the post game theme music. He comes on and says “Welcome to the New York Yankees post game show....thank you Mr. Orchestra Leader but now it’s my turn. LOL!
It always reminds me of the great Yankees teams of 1976 thru 1978 with the 3 straight AL championships and the back to back World Series wins in 77-78.
Yes! I remember Phil Rizzuto and Bill White on the channel 11 Yankee broadcasts growing up in CT. Whenever someone hit a home run, Phil would say "That ball iiiiisssss GONE!" Classic stuff for a lifetime Yankees fan!!!
TheRetro64 That particular instrumental music of the NY Yankees continues to be featured on Yankees radio broadcasts on "The Fan", Sports Radio 66 WFAN-AM. NewsRadio 88 WCBS-AM no longer broadcast Yankees games.
This brings back memories of watching Yankee games on WPIX-TV in New Jersey. I remember Phil Rizzuto's opening billboard that mentioned that sponsors and the line "And by the New York Yankees."
This always reminds me of the great Yankees teams of 1976 thru 1978 with the 3 straight AL championships and the back to back World Series wins in 77-78.
This New York Yankees Instrumental Theme sure takes me back watching the Yankees games on WPIX-TV Channel 11 in New York City. I remember Phil Rizzuto, Bill White, Frank Messer & Bobby Mercer calling the action. Even Bob Sheppard as the Yankee Stadium PA Announcer & Eddie Layton playing the Yankee Stadium organ. Such wonderful memories!
I’m a Cubs fan, but I grew up in Westchester County (NY) and Fairfield County (CT). We were lucky to have the Mets on WOR channel 9 and the Yankees on WPIX channel 11 back in the 70’s. And it was all free!
Remember when Rizzuto began some broadcasts by saying, "Welcome to NY Yankee Baseball. I'm Bill White..." with White standing next to him dying laughing?
The 3 Stooges, worst announcers ever. I felt sorry for Bill White for putting up with the other 2 jerks. When the Yankees were winning Messer would call them the "Yankees" but when they were losing it was always "New York".
Love this theme.....I may be wrong but it's the one I remember from the late 70's. When I was in 3rd grade or so (1979) I would try to stay up to watch the Honeymooners at 11pm.. When the Yankees were on id have to stay up later and wait for the game to be over. I listened to bill white and scooter calling the game and instantly became a Yankee fan during some of their worst seasons. But growing up in phillies country I'm very glad I took that rout! This, as well as a ton of the comments brought back some awesome memories!
Holy crap, you are absolutely right! On a side note, do you recall the PIX Games at all? They were interactive games played by a caller who sent in a S.A.S.E., usually played just after school hours I believe. I've been scouring online to find recordings of it but it's like searching for Bigfoot, only more rare.
Im listening to this cause my great grandfather just passed away and he loved the yankees his nickname was tuddy and his real name was salvatore vasselarro R.I.P poppa
Even though I'm young, I love this when they play it on wfan. It reminds me of my grandpa who just died, he loved watching the Yankees on wpix. He said they played this theme.
Man, the memories of listening to the intro to Yankee games on WPIX in the 1970's while I was growing up in Connecticut. Thanks for the upload. It's always nice to remember something nice from childhood.
Some things are iconic in this world. This is one of them. Just listening to it will nearly bring a tear to my eye every time. It's one of the very few things that are right in this world.
As a Yankee fan originating when they were in second to last place in the very early 70's, when they demolished the stadium and built the current stadium to serve filet mignon instead of just hot dogs I lost some of the passion. There was something special whenever a player stepped into the same batters box,or close to it, that Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe Dimaggio, Mickey Mantle, Reggie Jackson, Don Mattingly,Derek Jeter among many other greats took their stance.
"Well, you know what happens every time a Yankee hits a home run. Hey, (player's name) this Bud's for you!" Remember when they used to exclaim those words when a Yankee homered?
You can still hear this used for Yankees radio broadcasts. When I hear this song - I can still remember sitting on the living room floor as a kid watching a game on WPIX (in the late 80's). I miss those days! I actually have this theme recorded on VHS from WPIX from the '89 season somewhere. ( I miss those games with "The Scooter" Phil Rizzuto, alongside Bill White)
Neil D "Roger Clemens is in George's box, and Roger Clemens is coming back. Oh, my good goodness gracious! Of all the dramatic things I've ever seen. Roger Clemens standing right in George Steinbrenner's box announcing he is back. Roger Clemens is a New York Yankee."
🍷 I fondly remember after this theme played at the end of another Yankee win, Phil Rizzuto and Bill White would sign off to WPIX Action News with Joe & Pat Harper (later Pat Harper & Steve Bosch). In the summer, with no school, I'd stay up even later to watch The Odd Couple, The Honeymooners, Star Trek and finally, The Twilight Zone before falling asleep. What a great time! I❤NY.
In the 80s they had a revamped version of this before games with animated players turning into images on the scoreboard. I’d love to find that version.
"...and by Schaefer beer, the one beer to have, when you're having more than one". ..............Good afternoon everybody, I'm Phil Rizzuto, with Bill White and Frank Messer
I've Been A New York Yankees Fan Since 1978 I Was Five Years Old At That Time. One Of My Favorite New York Yankee Players Was Number 15 Thurman Munson.
even as a kid growing up in the 2010s, hearing this brings me back to hearing this on the radio with my dad on the fan yankees radio network. good times
This is one of the versions they played on WPIX and on 77 WABC radio back in the early to mid 70s. There was another Yankee instrumental before this one (can't find it anywhere) and another one, the one you are thinking about. Went something like.. "The Yankees Are Alive" Women singing. :)
@stuckonthepike Ahahaah!! I called you Bill!! I just realized it was Bill White! Really, thanks for keeping my Yankee memories alive. YANKEES ARE #1 ALWAYS! The Murcer, White, Munson, Pinella years were my favorite!
Brought to you by: Manufacturer's Hanover Savings & Trust... by Getty Gasoline... by Canon, the official camera of the Yankees... by TWA... by Budweiser; when you say Bud, you said it all... by Oldsmobile... and by THE NEW YORK YANKEES. --- IIRC, when the Yankees' broadcasts ended, the music would be cut off about the 1:15 mark, and the "Next on 11Alive" title card would come up, usually telling us that ACTION NEWS was next.
This sure brings back the memories. We didn't have WPIX and so we listened to the games on WKRT radio in Cortland. The broadcasts always started with Phil Rizuto saying "This is New York Yankee Baseball" and then the theme song started.

Getting ready and in the mood for the Subway Series! The first meeting of Our beloved Bronx Bombers and The cross town rival Mets at Citi Field in Flushing! Both teams are on point this year! Let's go Yankees 2022!⚾️😄
They still play this in the background when announcing the sponsors on the radio station in Hartford that broadcasts the games. Of course, we know all about theme songs up here.
As a kid in North Jersey l grew up listening to this Before, During and After Yankees games on WPIX......and I HATED the NYY...DESPISED them.....Still do.....That and NY Mets over on WOR-TV
It's just wonderful that the phrase DOT COM is not said or seen anywhere during this video. Honestly, today's Yankee games suck. It's nothing but commercials every few moments, espically over the radio.
You's can't leave out frank messer man!!! I'm trying ta find this who remembers inda early 80's that yankee commercial... Those yankees are alive!!! Loved that stuff man!!! Anybody that members it trow it in man!! Be good!! Yeah my bombers!!!
@IceManNJD - Actually, this recording (by Sid Bass' orchestra) was from 1967. That was the year this recording (and the vocal version thereof) was issued as a single on Columbia Records (#4-44083). This was the recording heard at the beginning and end of every Yankee telecast through 1981 or so, with either of the "Voices of 11 Alive," Bill Biery or Ralph Lowenstein, mentioning who the game's "participating advertisers" were.
Reminds me of those hot summer afternoons in the late 70's growing up in the Bronx watching the Yankees on WPIX 11....GREAT Memories!!!!
LOL. You think NY is hot?
You should visit Texas in the Summer.
WOW MAN YES OFCOURSE WELL PUT THE GOOD OLD DAYS!!
@@vicsovain3831 RAH I REMEMBER THE YANKEES MYSELF RAH RAH
This makes me think of my grandpa and Phil rizzuto.
Tina Turner The Best Would Fit Them Also.
All that I can think about when I hear this song is John Sterling doing the post game report lmao.
THE GRANDY MAN CAN! CURTISS.....GRRRRAANDERSON!
What I think about when I hear this song is people running in Yankee stadium where the seats are
I remember when the games were on 77 WABC radio in the late 80’s and John Sterling coming on to do the post game and his voice was buried in the post game theme music. He comes on and says “Welcome to the New York Yankees post game show....thank you Mr. Orchestra Leader but now it’s my turn. LOL!
It always reminds me of the great Yankees teams of 1976 thru 1978 with the 3 straight AL championships and the back to back World Series wins in 77-78.
This is Frank Messer for Bill White and Phil Rizzuto, welcome to NY Yankees baseball!
The New York Yankees saved my life ... I love them ... Let's go Yankees !
Oh yes!!! Great memories !! Jackson, Nettles, Chamblis, Rivers, Munson, ETC!!!!!!!!!
Yes! I remember Phil Rizzuto and Bill White on the channel 11 Yankee broadcasts growing up in CT. Whenever someone hit a home run, Phil would say "That ball iiiiisssss GONE!" Classic stuff for a lifetime Yankees fan!!!
They still play this song at the beginning and ending of Yankee radio broadcasts on WCBS 880.
Thanks for the upload.
TheRetro64 That particular instrumental music of the NY Yankees continues to be featured on Yankees radio broadcasts on "The Fan", Sports Radio 66
WFAN-AM. NewsRadio 88 WCBS-AM no longer broadcast Yankees games.
@@yippyyokiyay WFAN was the Mets and WCBS was the Yankees now it’s the opposite
WFAN did this song dirty this season. They edited it out of their radio broadcast.
They don’t let the whole song play out.
Back in the 70's late 80's I listen to there theme song and I knew it was time for the game didn't have a care in the world the good ol days.
This brings back memories of watching Yankee games on WPIX-TV in New Jersey. I remember Phil Rizzuto's opening billboard that mentioned that sponsors and the line "And by the New York Yankees."
Holy Cow!
Miss these days!😢
Drive a Datsun...then decide! I can still see Sparky Lyle coming in from the bullpen in that car!
Those were the great Yankee days. That awesome lineup! I loved Bobby Murcer!
This always reminds me of the great Yankees teams of 1976 thru 1978 with the 3 straight AL championships and the back to back World Series wins in 77-78.
This my favorite Yankees theme song. Great uplifting theme.
Mine too.
This New York Yankees Instrumental Theme sure takes me back watching the Yankees games on WPIX-TV Channel 11 in New York City.

Floyd Bell Jr. Robert Merrill. National anthem
Murcer wasn't calling the game back then. He was playing in center field.
Phil Rizutto at every last home game before the Yanks we're on the road: Yeah we're going to Florida tonight
I’m a Cubs fan, but I grew up in Westchester County (NY) and Fairfield County (CT). We were lucky to have the Mets on WOR channel 9 and the Yankees on WPIX channel 11 back in the 70’s. And it was all free!

Never gets old.
New York Yankees Fan Forever.The New York Yankees Will Always Be Number 1 To Me.
Still get chills hearing this. Thanks for uploading.
The Scooter, Messer & White
Brian Boucher A lot of baseball fans don't know how great Bill White was as a baseball broadcaster!
And Jerry Coleman!
Brian Boucher - my favorite grouping. Bill White and Scooter were the best. Brings back good memories.
Ditto for me also. .. Glad to see the Yanks getting younger
The 3 Stooges, worst announcers ever. I felt sorry for Bill White for putting up with the other 2 jerks. When the Yankees were winning Messer would call them the "Yankees" but when they were losing it was always "New York".

Love this theme!!! Anybody remember when a fan was heckling the WPIX broadcast booth and Scooter yells, "Have another beer" back at him!!??
Im listening to this cause my great grandfather just passed away and he loved the yankees his nickname was tuddy and his real name was salvatore vasselarro R.I.P poppa
AyeItsJoey VLOGS
May your grandfather rest in peace ✝✝✝
This song always made me smile, cause a ballgame was about to come on
This really takes me back, I grew up watching games on Channel 11, Rizzuto calling the games...good times.
the scooter and Bill white were my favorite broadcasters from when I grew up in the 80's in Jersey
Even though I'm young, I love this when they play it on wfan. It reminds me of my grandpa who just died, he loved watching the Yankees on wpix. He said they played this theme.
Rip old yankee stadium
Man, the memories of listening to the intro to Yankee games on WPIX in the 1970's while I was growing up in Connecticut. Thanks for the upload. It's always nice to remember something nice from childhood.
I would LOVE for all their broadcasts to begin with this once again...brings me back to my youth. GREAT MEMORIES!!

Kevin Kenny Exacly how I feel ⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
As a Yankee fan originating when they were in second to last place in the very early 70's, when they demolished the stadium and built the current stadium to serve filet mignon instead of just hot dogs I lost some of the passion.
There was something special whenever a player stepped into the same batters box,or close to it, that Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe Dimaggio, Mickey Mantle, Reggie Jackson, Don Mattingly,Derek Jeter among many other greats took their stance.
It's still used to this day on WCBS radio games and hearing it always provides a warm link of continuity with the good old days.
Memories watching the Bronx Bombers back in the day on WPIX 11 with one the one an only Phil Rizzuto, HOLY COW!!!
Just shared this in a group chat. Always sounds better when they lose.😂
"Well, you know what happens every time a Yankee hits a home run. Hey, (player's name) this Bud's for you!" Remember when they used to exclaim those words when a Yankee homered?
This song was my childhood

You can't predict baseball, Suzyn.
TimSPC Well John, it's so dramatic.
Neil D "Roger Clemens is in George's box, and Roger Clemens is coming back. Oh, my good goodness gracious! Of all the dramatic things I've ever seen. Roger Clemens standing right in George Steinbrenner's box announcing he is back. Roger Clemens is a New York Yankee."
"Well you know, Suzyn...."
I love those two!

Win lose or tie, yankees till i die!
Watching the night games on WPIX with Frank Messer,Bill White and the Skooter great memorie.😎⚾️
Holy Cow, White. I almost drove my car off the George Washington Bridge listening to this.
In the 80s they had a revamped version of this before games with animated players turning into images on the scoreboard. I’d love to find that version.
This song just screams victory
"...and by Schaefer beer, the one beer to have, when you're having more than one". ..............Good afternoon everybody, I'm Phil Rizzuto, with Bill White and Frank Messer
Anyone remember this " New York Yankees Baseball brought to you by the Con Edison Company & by Miller High life Beer" ?
Brought to you by Budweiser. For all you do. This buds for you
Awesome New York Yankees Theme. WPIX Was Also Known As Eleven Alive.
I've Been A New York Yankees Fan Since 1978 I Was Five Years Old At That Time. One Of My Favorite New York Yankee Players Was Number 15 Thurman Munson.
Also played on YES Network during games
even as a kid growing up in the 2010s, hearing this brings me back to hearing this on the radio with my dad on the fan yankees radio network. good times
So True!!! I miss the both of them!!! Made the game so enjoyable
Who remembers "Getty Goners" thanks to Phil Rizzuto, Bill White and Frank Messer!?
I can hear Phil Rizzuto right now-HOLY COW.
Reminds me of turning on channel 11 when I was a kid
This is one of the versions they played on WPIX and on 77 WABC radio back in the early to mid 70s.
There was another Yankee instrumental before this one (can't find it anywhere) and another one,
the one you are thinking about. Went something like.. "The Yankees Are Alive" Women singing. :)
Sid Bass and his orchestra, recorded in 1966.
@stuckonthepike Ahahaah!! I called you Bill!! I just realized it was Bill White! Really, thanks for keeping my Yankee memories alive. YANKEES ARE #1 ALWAYS! The Murcer, White, Munson, Pinella years were my favorite!
And those words " Welcome to Yankee Stadium in the Bronx NY". Great times!!
The All Time Best Theme Song Ever!!!!
+Brian Sheehy Yeah? This is SHIT compared to Meet the Mets
+Tom Roz meet the mets is so gay
LOL!! Mets? Really? AHAHAHAAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!
What would really be awesome is if we could see the video from 1978 where Reggie hit his 3 HRs, or from 1979-80 when we saw 1978 highlights.

Why did you listen to it then?
Phil Rizzuto, Frank Messer, and Bob Gamere in the late 60's. "Numba Sehven......Mickey Mantle.....First Base.....Numbah Sehven.
Oh god I haven't heard this in years ..I love it thanks for posting this
I like any theme song with a banjo.
I wish YES would adopt this theme
That would be an excellent idea, especially for the Yankees' annual "Old-Timers' Day" and any YES-produced telecasts airing on WPIX (channel 11).
I Agree They Should Start Using It Again.
And now warming up in the bullpen numba 45 Gerrit Cole numba 45 mista bob Sheppard we miss y’all
Yankees Super 1970's
I was born in the 70's and was raised listening to this theme before the big games.
Munson and Mercer era fan here, WPIX and theBronx Bombers!
Reminds of the days of Rizzuto, Messer and White
Wheel Jack God how I miss those days. Bobby Mercer was my favorite player.
Holy Cow 🐄 The Scooter

It's just wonderful that the phrase DOT COM is not said or seen anywhere during this video.
Honestly, today's Yankee games suck. It's nothing but commercials every few moments, espically over the radio.
Definitely should use this again.
I love it!
Thanks for the memory! I forgot about that! I can just hear it in my head right now. :D
