My polock Family in Chicago

lol 14 to 5😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is great!!!

1:29 Welcome to the Jimmy Piersall fan club, where we are true fans of baseball, unlike the idiots that showed up with ABBA and disco records that were causing problems and started a riot that eventually caused the second game to be forfeited in favor of the Detroit Tigers.

Life was so simple no stress no bullshit just fun at the old ballpark

We would get general admission seats for 2 bucks then go to the Golden box seats in the 3rd inning where my sister worked and get the seats no one showed up for. Life was good 👍

My name is Daniel Franco Jr and I was born in Blue Island Illinois and we came to Live in Laredo Texas and Later on we went to live in Cuitzeo Del Porvenir Michoacán Michoacán el Pueblo Mágico Benito Juárez número 29 is my address and amigos wife said you will get you wishes today

I need back up from Laredo Texas

late 70s early 80s best era ever

dam nancy could flat play the organ even have her bobble head

So weird listening to him say "White Sox". Also they should of remodeled and kept old Comiskey. Another iconic legendary baseball shrine that was ruined and torn down.

Just what I needed today. I miss baseball.

hey please Joe, take me out to the ballgame RIGHT NOW I miss it

Oh do.i miss the sound of Nancy faust on.the hammond and that gem of a ball park.

Watch the "Chicago White Sox" baseball on "NBC Sports Chicago".

Wow that sucks

I've watched this whole clip and the whole '79 one. I like how they repeatedly focus on the same season-ticket holders or whoever the heck was at every game. Wonder where all those folks are now?

Did Harry Caray really say he's kisses her on the strikes and she's kisses him on the balls.

My wife and I sat out in the bleachers with Harry on a Wednesday afternoon when he was announcing games in the bleachers. Falstaff was the Sox beer at the time and Harry had a huge cooler full of it. He drank most of that cooler and never moved from that seat. He either had one hell of a bladder or a tube running into a bucket. One guy said to him,"don't you ever have to take a piss?". After the game my wife got Harry['s autograph which we still have.

I felt Disco Demolition Day was self defeating because how did all those fans get those records? Did record stores give them away, were they shoplifted? People probably bought them, putting money in the artists pockets. They don't care what you do with them after you get them anyway. Second worst promotion in baseball history next to 10 cent beer night in Cleveland. I heard they took them from their parents so 80,000 people must be double secret grounded.

I belong to the smallest subset of Harry fans, those who heard him during his one-year stint in Oakland. I was 15 and, along with one of my friends, thought Harry was hilarious. A ball would be hooked over the A's bullpen down the left field line and Harry -- on radio only -- would enthuse "if it stays fair!" His famous "It might be, it could be....." often ended with a catch 10 feet in front of the warning track. But he was a big presence on the broadcasts and definitely shook things up as opposed to the calmer Monte Moore.

The White Sox are apparently the first pro team to use this song, but the first sports team to do so was the Minnesota Golden Gophers hoops team.

The only good teams in chicsgo in 79 were the bears at 10-6, and DePaul.

Oh yes it will.

Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky?

I'd like how he said HOLY COW on the night of disco demolition night.

Nancy is a lock for MLB Hall Of Fame IMO...But I'm biased, I'm her most enthusiastic fan...Still, she's an incredible musician. She altered the game and the sound-scape of MLB and modern sports forever

MINE'S THE SUN

According to the second edition of "The Ultimate Baseball Road Trip", by Josh Pahigian and Kevin O'Connell, Nancy retired from playing at "The Cell" in 2010. Lori Moreland succeeded her.

How's that World Series Trophy doing at Wrigley? Oh wait, that's right. Hell hasn't frozen over yet. NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!!!

@Rick081677 They should've never gotten rid of the old Chomsky Park.

If the White Sox were made of baby back ribs would you eat it? I know I sure would and then I'd wash it down with a cool Budweiser

@MrBennetzen -- I don't know if he ever was! Hey! I'm a lifelong White Sox fan (as my user name indicates) and the Sox having to forfeit that game would've been upsetting to fans like myself if the Sox weren't having a mediocre season anyway. That fiasco was arguably the most exciting thing to happen at Comiskey Park that year. LOL☺ Meanwhile 2005 was the "next year" I'd been waiting for since their 1959 pennant! Yessss!☺

@MrBennetzen -- Actually it was Bill Veeck's son who came up with the idea of getting Steve Dahl to lead an anti-disco rally between games of a twi-night double-header. The blame goes to the people in the stands who were getting high and ran out an the field in violation of ballpark rules. Dahl never encouraged them to do so. However since then Steve Dahl has apologized for what happened and even made his peace with Jimmy Piersall. Since then Dahl and family've been loyal White Sox fans.

my brothers and i were @ disco nite u got in the gates for .99 cents with a disco record 10,000 people were outside the gates and getting home was a real task, we lived in orland park When the wackjobs on the field started throw ng the records back in the stands knew it was time to check out

@MrBennetzen -- Jimmy Piersall's classic quote that night was "These people aren't fans of baseball! They're fans of ... far out!"

back then, we'd buy general admission tickets on gameday and migrate all the way up to the Golden box seats and rarely get kicked out of our seats. Going to those games in the late 70's/early 80's made winning the 2005 WS so much sweeter!

@MrBennetzen He tried singing "Take me out to the Ballgame" to get them back in their seats and was pleading with the fans. I know Nancy played "Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye" when the Chicago police showed up in baby blue riot gear and the fans fled.

This was taped during the 1979 season.

Excellent video! I can't tell you how many times I hear a Cub Fan talk about how the tradition started with Harry in Wrigley Field. I often thought that if Harry had stayed with Sportsvision, if the Sox would have become more popular with the fans? Then again, it was 1980 and cable television was still in its infancy so WGN had the Cubs game, free on television.

@TeamshakeNbake Oh,whatever.Does that experence at Wrigley include Cubs fans nearly killing Steve Bartman in 2003?If Wrigley is Americiana,then it reflects America now of days,...in very bad shape! Wrigley is overrated.I'm a White Sox fan,but even I think Fenway Park is better than Wrigley.Oh,and Fenway and the Cell hosted more Championships teams than Wrigley,too!

"For it's root, root, root for the WHITE SOX..." I'm sorry, I know he did call games for them and admittedly I didn't grow up with Harry (but I did grow up with someone just as good, Vin Scully...Vin's the best play-by-play man ever in baseball, Harry maybe the best color man...and I'm a METS FAN, so I'm all messed up on this, lol) but that just doesn't sound right! He HAS to say "Root, root, root for the CUB-BIES" right? Isn't there some cosmic law--Cubs lose, but have Harry with 'em?

Going to miss Nancy next season

I've heard nothing but great things about Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall. Too bad we're stuck listening to Hawk Harrelson do White Sox games.

Awesome Video. I was 8-9 yrs. old at this time. I LOVED Nancy Faust. She is Hot. What great video of old Comiskey and Harry. This IS Baseball at its best. Thanks for posting this.

Im a Cubs fan and I can't stop watching this commercial, it's so damn catchy!

Cubs fans aren't noted for being the most knowledgeable or even for paying attention. They think they have some great tradition because their stadium is older than dirt, but it is really just an ancient mausoleum that smells like piss, that should have been condemned years ago. The truth is, they mean nothing to baseball, except for being a running joke to everyone but their delusional and sadomasochistic fans. If the Cubs were contracted tomorrow, it would be no great loss to baseball.

@darrinstevens11 I remember the Disco demolition. That was great. Not for baseball but another nail in Disco's lid. Steve Dahl rocked! I still have the 45 of "Do You Think I'm Disco."

I remember watching these games when Harry was the commentator. Channel 44 (remember UHF oldsters?) - changed to a PPV channel not long after these clips. This was back when baseball was still very popular. I miss those days and the Comiskey Park where the infamous Black Sox played their season.

Awesome. Let's go White Sox!
