Dunt Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Anyone else think this is kinda bulls***? Shouldnt this be something that is either given to her as a gift or immortalized somewhere at the park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shysocks Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 It's being sold on 12/5, so I assume it's part of the garage sale thing? Â I'd like if it were preserved too, but the money will go to charity, so it's fine this way too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I can appreciate the nostalgia of the oragn as I grew up hearing it but it is being sold for charity so its really not a problem with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I don't know, I feel the organ could serve better as forever a musuem piece in the park than sold for a finite amount of charity money. Hopefully it falls into good hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure someone has some good ideas for it, but it'd be a great dedication for the legend that is Nancy Faust. Put it in a case and use it as a centerpiece to explain why she is a legend and her impact on Chicago and sports as a whole. With the amount of eyes on it, hopefully she could continue to inspire some even in her retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit, it is awe inspiring. Â I liked Nancy as much as anyone, and I too am bothered by the demise of the organ and move to canned music, but that is where it is headed. I don't think an old organ in a glass case is going to change where this is headed. Getting some kids who need coats and food is a better choice.

Dick Allen Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) BTW what they are selling is Nancy's home practice organ. Probably the one she used in the park is still being used.

Iwritecode Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I wonder if you took a poll of random Sox fans at any given home game, how many of them would even know who Nancy Faust is? 15%? 20% maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckweaver Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I, for one, believe that if a former hallowed employee's kidney or lung could afford us a new shortstop, third baseman, catcher who can hit, outfielder who can catch and throw or DH who doesn't strike out more than he makes contact, we should all just be very grateful to Nancy Faust for her generous, unselfish donation of said organ.

Let someone buy it, and help a needy kid or family. It's not a "freaking" organ, it's "Nancy Faust's" organ. I would think you might know the difference. And given the profound and indelible effect Nancy had on Sox fans for over 40 years, having her organ present in the ballpark to remind us fondly of her contributions to the fan experience would be really cool. Yes, there's the plaque on the organist's booth, but having the actual organ there would be a far greater and more unique tribute to her. Think of it in the same vein as having all of those statues of former Sox greats in the park. What are they there for? To remind us of some of the greatness of the Sox' past. Nancy Faust falls in that category, albeit in a slightly different capacity, and therefore the suggestion that the organ belongs in Sox Park is not only a reasonable one, but if you think about it, the right one as well.

Â Why not have a statue of Nancy and still sell the organ for money. After all, the player statues don't have real gloves and bats.

Lol - well, they could do that, but the plaque on the organist's booth already has her likeness, so this might be a duplication of efforts. The actual organ would be really unique. She was always considered the most talented organist in baseball throughout her tenure, so to acknowledge and honor that by having the actual organ on the park's premises would be, in my opinion, the appropriate thing to do.
