A blast from the past

CHICAGO — White Sox organist Nancy Faust could be described as one part entertainer, one part musician and one part mad scientist. How else could the following scenario be explained?

Let’s say, for example, Cleveland’s Travis Hafner is stepping to the plate at U.S. Cellular Field. What music does Faust immediately decide to play for the Indians slugger? Her choice is either J. Geils’ “Centerfold” or Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer,” of course.

“Livin’ on a Prayer” has the lyric “We’re halfway there,” thus relating somewhat to HAF-ner. But “Centerfold?”

“Because of Hugh Hefner,” said Faust with a laugh, referring to how Hafner and Hefner have very similar last names. “That’s the way my little brain works.”
