Rays troll Yankees by blasting team's victory song in clubhouse during ALDS celebration

After every victory at home, the New York Yankees blast the "Theme from New York, New York" in the clubhouse. It's become a tradition, one that's stood in place — with some alterations — since the 1980s. The Yankees have done a lot of winning since then.

Unfortunately for the team, traditions are a pretty easy target for tomfoolery when the Yankees lose. The team learned that the hard way Wednesday night, as the Tampa Bay Rays celebrated their American League Division Series sweep over the Yankees by trolling the team with its own victory song.

During the Rays' clubhouse celebration, the team blasted "Theme from New York, New York." Members of the team sang along and started swaying to the music.

Rays players clearly delighted in the fact that they were able to eliminate one of their biggest rivals in three straight games. But no player had more fun than Junior Caminero, who mimed sweeping Yankees fans out of the stadium following the contest.

Caminero also broke out multiple impressions of former Yankees radio announcer John Sterling's signature call after victories. After every Yankees victory, Sterling would announce, "The Yankees win. Theeeeeeeeeee Yankees win."

Caminero's version changed one key word. You can probably guess which one.

With the win in the series, the Rays advanced to the American League Championship Series for the third time in franchise history. The team has never lost in the round, advancing to the World Series in each of their previous visits.

The Rays don't know who they'll face in the ALCS just yet. After jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the series, the Chicago White Sox dropped Wednesday's game to the Cleveland Guardians. The White Sox can advance to the ALCS on Thursday with a win over Cleveland. If Chicago loses, both teams will play a winner-take-all Game 5 on Saturday.
