Chicago White Sox Walkup Songs

Guaranteed Rate Field · Chicago

The White Sox' walkup tradition

Chicago walkup culture on the South Side is rooted in 1970s organist Nancy Faust, who effectively invented modern walkup music by playing themed riffs for individual White Sox players. The current roster's walkups skew hip hop, with deep Chicago-rap roots — Common, Lupe Fiasco, Chance the Rapper appear regularly across player playlists.

The most iconic White Sox walkup moment

Bobby Jenks's Sandstorm closer entrance during the 2005 World Series run is one of the most-imitated closer entrances in the EDM era — used by countless college and high school closers since.

How to use White Sox walkup songs for your team

Whether you're coaching Little League, travel ball, high school, or college baseball, picking a walkup song from a Chicago White Sox player is one of the cleanest ways to give a kid a confidence boost at the plate. The trick: most MLB walkups need a careful trim point — the 15-second window is rarely the song's first 15 seconds.

1. Pick the White Sox player whose walkup style fits the kid (power hitter, leadoff, closer, etc.)
2. Open the song's page on this site to see the recommended trim window
3. Build your roster in Walkup Pro, assign the song, and set the trim
4. Connect a Bluetooth speaker at the field and tap to play on game day
