1947
White Sox organist and baseball legend Nancy Faust was born in Chicago.
Nancy is a White Sox icon, deserving of better franchise acknowledgement, as well as Baseball Hall of Fame recognition.
Among her many contributions to the game, Nancy invented walk-up music for players. Her 1970s popularization for the Steam single “Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)” not only revolutionized the fan experience at Comiskey Park, but is an iconic experience of victory celebration that continues — throughout the world — to this day.
She is a dear friend to South Side Sox, and we will forever adore her.
