Nancy Faust's Organ Sold to Red Sox Organist

The legendary Nancy Faust organ that thrilled fans at both Chicago’s Old Comiskey Park and the new U.S. Cellular Field for decades is just switching one sock for the other.

The organ, put up for sale by the Chicago White Sox during their annual holiday sale for charity on Saturday, was purchased by Josh Kantor, the popular organist for the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Kantor has had a “brilliant and interesting career,” according to Faust. He was the high-bidder at Saturday’s auction, held at U.S. Cellular Field.

According to a 2014 feature on Kantor by 90.9 WBUR Radio Boston, the Red Sox organist moved to Chicago at age 13 and considers Faust one of his major influences in life.

Kantor “quickly became enchanted with the playing of Nancy Faust,” the article read.

“Everybody kind of regards her as the best and most important stadium organist, but one of the things I remember from the first time we talked, after I got the job here, was she said, ‘You know, always make sure you update the repertoire, add new songs, it really is worthwhile. You’ll get good response from people and you’ll remain relevant. Because if you want to do this for a long time, you’ll play your way into irrelevance if you don’t keep updating the song selections.’ So, that was great advice from her.”

Faust was the White Sox organist from 1970-2010, and still performs on Sundays for the Kane County Cougars.

It’s only fair the Red Sox get to swipe a piece of White Sox history. Hall-of-Fame catcher Carlton Fisk made the opposite move in 1981, and actually spent more time playing for Chicago’s Sox than Boston’s.

But we’ll never forget the beloved organ, which introduced us to “Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye” and Harry Caray’s “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” at major league ballparks.

Or the 2005 American League playoffs and a certain bases loaded jam, Red Sox fans. We’ll never forget about that either.
