The Tampa Bay Rays won the American League East at Yankee Stadium a few weeks ago and celebrated in their rivals' house.
After sweeping the New York Yankees in the American League Division Series, the Rays once again got a chance to celebrate at Yankee Stadium. While the visiting clubhouse was filled with beer and champagne, the Rays made sure to troll their division rivals.
The Rays were playing Frank Sinatra's classic Theme From New York, New York during their celebration, with players with their hands over each other's shoulders. The Tampa Bay Times' Marc Topkin posted a video of the celebration on X.

The Yankees have been to one World Series with Aaron Judge, and it is starting to become one of the biggest disappointments in modern baseball. He is one of the best players in the game, and the Yankees' consistent shortcomings have become a huge storyline.
Not only are their postseason failures disappointing, but they are also embarrassing. The Yankees have made the postseason in four of the last five seasons, and each of those appearances ended with an opponent celebrating at Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees need to find a way to play cleaner baseball in October if they don't want to keep watching other teams pop bottles at Yankee Stadium and take a team picture on their field.
