bullet::::- "let's go go go white sox" by captain stubby and the buccaneers – a tribute to the "go-go white sox" of the late 1950s, this song serves as the unofficial fight song of the white sox. in 2005, scoreboard operator jeff szynal found a record of the song and played it for a "turn back the clock" game against the los angeles dodgers, whom the sox played in the 1959 world series. after catcher a. j. pierzynski hit a walk-off home run, they kept the song around, as the white sox went on to win the 2005 world series.
