The Yankees added a new entertainment feature to their home games in the Stadium in 2019, ’80s in the 8th, in which they played a 1980s song and fans let their freak flag fly, dancin’ to the tunes, in the middle of the eighth inning.
These are YouTube links to most of the songs. Lots of time to dance until late July!
