Yeah, but you know who won't get rid of GBA?  The Yankees.

Because Steinbrenner.

Seriously - The Boss installed the ritualistic playing of the Kate Smith 
recording at the 7IS after the 9/11 attacks, and they're still doing it 
today.  It doesn't matter that it's heavy handed.  It doesn't matter that 
the crowd isn't into it (hell, the crowd is more into Grounds Crew YMCA 
than GBA), or that the PA time could be better spent.  The Boss demanded it 
be played, and by G-d, as long as someone with Steinbrenner DNA owns the 
team, it'll get played.
