TLAK Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ....

Yossarian Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
