At Wednesday’s game, when Podsednik got on my brother started the Go-Go chant. I joined in but was surprised that nobody else did. There was a day when old Comisky thundered with it. When a Sox base runner took his lead, the crowd would chant GO…GO…GO... as the pitcher went into his stretch. Now that I think about it, Go-Go was popular long before most of the crowd was even born. Sox-Talk is an eclectic group, I wonder if any of you have any idea what I’m talking about. I’d love to see the chant come back.

no clue brother man, probably because i am alas only 17

I think the team should be called the "Right Sox"

What about the "Fight Sox"

The "It looks like we have a good chance at making the playoffs this year Sox"

If the Go Go chant doesn't start back up, maybe you can be the next Andy the Clown?

I have an idea of what you are talking about, but only from the stories from my dad.

Umm I think you are thinking of major league, where Willie Mays Hayes takes a lead they all chant go go go.

Our fans throws HR balls back onto the field and can't remember the Na Na Na chant. No way in hell they know the Go-Go chant.

Umm. No. He knows what he is talking about. Old Comiskey Park used to rock to the Go Go chant. I can still hear it .... Aparicio takes his lead off first .... and the crowd "Go Go Go Go Go Go"

It's a great chant, you don't need a guitar, it has a good beat and the words are easy to remember...

Wow am I old or what? Yasny is right of course but the whole go go thing started in 1951 when the Sox rocketed out to a 32-12 start after three decades of mostly bad baseball. The fifties and sixties White Sox always had plenty of speed, and many still refer to the 1951-1967 White Sox as the go go era. By the way, those 17 straight winning seasons are I believe the third longest streak in MLB history.

I've heard about this, from my dad. It sounds as if it would be really cool (and loud) if you got everyone doing it in the stadium. No other park in the league does anything like this and it's certainly simple enough that it would catch on throughout a stadium. Plus anything to intimidate a pitcher a little bit and get Iguchi, Thomas, and Konerko one or two more fastballs.
