Ken Williams Chicago Quotations

Chicago is tough-minded city. Similar to New York, Boston, Philly,

We certainly like the feel of the champagne dripping off our clothes. We all are competitors. I said years ago that we not only wanted to win one, but we wanted to have sustained success. We wanted to build a brand. We took a major step forward with winning the World Series, but to cement ourselves in the Chicago market and the national market, we have to keep pushing.

I'm probably the only guy in Chicago who doesn't have the luxury of relishing in the sentimentality of what happened last season. The defeatist attitude that we'll always be Chicago's second team doesn't fly with me.

I'm optimistic that something will work out, ... You have a player that wants to be in Chicago and you have a club that wants him to be in Chicago.
