Five minutes with legendary White Sox organist Nancy Faust really made my day

So, I have been sharing with you for a little more than a week now my trip to U.S. Cellular Field a week ago Sunday. It was then that the White Sox honored the 1972 team and particularly Dick Allen before the game.

The White Sox were very gracious to credential me for the pregame festivities, but it was really made possible because our own Ed Spiezio was there being honored with the rest of the Sox. It was great, I talked with Ed at length before the game and most of that interview has either made it to print or video at this point.

I also had the video camera rolling for several other interviews with Allen, his brother Hank and Goose Gossage. I also even talked to Dick Allen's grandson for a bit. I then talked one-on-one with then Sox GM Roland Hemond and Bill Melton about that '72 team. Bart Johnson was also there and part of the ceremonies, but I didn't get the chance to film him except for during the on-field ceremonies themselves.
