Chicago White Sox - "Na-Na Hey-Hey Goodbye" with Kathy Griffin (Commercial, 1978)

Here's a memorable commercial for the White Sox - featuring fans singing "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" by Steam, first popularized during White Sox games by team organist, Nancy Faust. Featuring a young Kathy Griffin (in her first acting job, years before making it big as a comedian and TV personality) wearing braids and Sox hat and playing a kazoo, all the way at the far left of the screen in the second row around :15 (among the attendant Sox fans), and Theodore "Ted" Noose as the traffic cop at :10.
Ending voiceover by Don Criqui.
This aired on local Chicago TV in early 1978.

So many great memories! Every time the opposing pitcher was pulled they would play that tune. Goosebumps!

This brings me back to my youth. Chet Lemon was my favorite Sox player in the 70s

Thank you so much for finding/uploading this. It's going to make my Dads day when I show it to him.

In 1975, I went to a White Sox game, a home run was hit there--and BOOM WENT THE FIREWORKS!
So, subliminally, this White Sox promo was a ploy to introduce not just White Sox fans to the exploding scoreboard, but even non-White-Sox fans as well. It is not because of the famous Steam song that organist Nancy Faust of the White Sox played so many times for so, so many years!!!
Yep, Nancy did that song whenever a Sox home run was hit and the fireworks were turned on from the scoreboard.

That scoreboard pinwheel spinning at you at the end of the commercial - reminds you of lollipops with swirl designs, but not only that - the "pinwheel fireworks" you see on the 4th of July.

Still need an annotation in the video to point out Kathy Griffin.

Kathy Griffin is a baseball fan.... somewhat, but her family is divided between the White Sox and Cubs.

[@Jefmo74]

Go Whitesox and their new young look.
