It means a lot not only to us in the clubhouse but to the organization, the fans, the city. It's a great feeling. We're just happy to be able to bring a championship to the city of Chicago. It's really special.
It means a lot. He's been to the dance before. Not in baseball, but he knows this feeling. His heart and soul is in baseball and he's told me many times he'd trade all his rings for a World Series championship. We're not only doing it for the players first in the clubhouse, but for Jerry and Kenny and everybody else.
It's been a long time since they've been in the World Series and won, ... And it means a lot, not only to us in the clubhouse but to the organization, to the fans, to the city, and it's just a great feeling. And we're just happy to be able to bring a championship to the city of Chicago, and it's really special.
A couple of guys could have got it. We all worked hard to do whatever we could to help this team win and guys came up with big hits in a lot of situations. And it's just special for me to be thought of as MVP.
It was good. I think a lot of guys enjoyed it. Just to understand what those guys went through.
It was good for him to be down there today and talk to the guys, to have somebody there who actually played and went through all that stuff. He did some good things back in the day and it's fun to be around him. He's 94 years old and looks like he's in his 60s.
It's a new year and he caught me when I was swinging good.
It just so happens that he hears stuff from what umpires say on certain calls like that,
What we play is a National League-style of baseball. This is the way baseball should be played.
When I hit it, I thought it was probably gone.
We don't have any egos on this team. I think that was what was really special about this club,
We don't have any egos on this team, ... Everybody got along with each other. . . . Ozzie will say whatever is on his mind and he keeps everybody loose.
We're just missing pitches. We've got to continue to battle and not put pressure on ourselves.
We're just happy to be able to bring a championship to the city of Chicago, and it's really special.
