October 18, 20232 yr October 18, 1969 - A little known studio musical group came out with an oddly named song. On this date it broke into the Billboard Top 100 chart and would eventually move all the way to #1. The group was called Steam. The song, “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye.” Thanks to the efforts of Sox organist Nancy Faust it would become the song Sox fans used to ‘serenade’ pitchers being removed from games. Today you can hear it practically at every stadium in America but it started on the South Side! In April 2021 ESPN had a special short documentary on the history of the song and how through the efforts of Faust it became the fan base’s anthem and eventually spread as stated to other teams, leagues and sports.
