White Sox Legends & Milestones: Winkles, Faust, Carlos & More
Description
On this day in White Sox history, we celebrate the birth of Bobby Winkles, a minor league player and successful college coach who later managed and coached in the big leagues. We also honor Nancy Faust, the iconic White Sox organist who revolutionized baseball with player walk-up music and the Na Na Hey Hey song. Cisco Carlos, a rookie pitcher from 1968, graced the Sports Illustrated cover but struggled with a 14-loss season. Roy Schalk, a unique player who returned for over 100 games after missing at least ten full seasons, passed away in 1990. In 2003, 16 White Sox players, led by Tom Gordon, initially refused performance-enhancing drug tests, highlighting growing tensions over testing that shaped future policies.
