Inscription. During her legendary 40-year career as the organist for the Chicago White Sox, Nancy Faust entertained White Sox and baseball fans at more than 3,000 games and events. She was credited as the first sports organist to incorporate popular and rock themes including her trademark rendition of "Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him) Goodbye" - into her performances.

Dubbed "baseball's best organist" by Sports Illustrated, she was famous for punctuating the game and opposing player at-bat music with personal and witty melodic interludes while entertaining millions of fans.

"If I'm a major part of a fan's White Sox experience, it's because fans are a major part of mine."
- Nancy Faust (1994)

Thanks Nancy, from your fans and the Chicago White Sox.

Erected by Chicago White Sox.

1. Chicago Reader: Nancy Faust transformed the sound of baseball.

Excerpt: “Faust is widely credited with introducing this sort of personalized and often spontaneous 'walk-up music' to Major League Baseball.
