In October, at the end of this season, Faust is retiring. Over the past 41 years, she's seen the game of baseball change and feels it's time for her to move on.

Drastic changes

"When I started playing here back in 1970, the entertainment consisted solely of the organ music," says Faust. "Things have changed drastically since then. We have the scoreboard games, the quizzes, dancing, just a myriad of entertainment that wasn't available in those days."

And many organists are being replaced by recorded CDs.

"The sounds that you hear eventually at the park could be the sounds you are hearing at any sport, any mall, any nightclub," she says. "It's just kind of lost its individuality."

Many organists are being replaced by recorded CDs at major league baseball games.

But the fans haven't lost their enthusiasm for Faust. On a hot summer day, when the White Sox hosted the Yankees, they lined up to say goodbye.

"Hearing her play, it's just, it reminds me of baseball," says one of those fans, Paul Gustilise. "It's like old school baseball...and the crowd's always more into it for her compared to the piped-in music. I just ...definitely going to miss her."

Party's over

For four decades, Faust's life has revolved around baseball and the White Sox.

She set her wedding date on a weekend when the team was playing out of town. And, the only five games she's missed were when her son, Eric, was born, 27 years ago.
