Ozzie has been on a whirlwind this winter. He has done everything that everybody asked him to do.
anyone baseball bleeds certainly continue family feels great manager serious train
Ozzie certainly made it an interesting train ride. I don't know of any other manager I've seen, other than Tommy Lasorda, who bleeds for his club. He feels this is his family and his team. I don't think anyone can think Ozzie isn't a serious manager anymore. He's going to continue to say stuff. But Ozzie is a great baseball man.

awful bulls career celebrity chicago elvis face finals michael nba seen series since sports team ultimate wait winning
It always was big when we were in the NBA Finals because we had an Elvis Presley-caliber celebrity on our team in Michael Jordan. But the World Series is much bigger. I've never seen Chicago this excited. Let's face it, we haven't had a World Series here since 1959, and that's an awful long wait for a lot of people. Winning all those championships with the Bulls was great, but it would be the ultimate of my sports career if we win a world championship.

My wife design the rings. I would say I like them anyway.

It feels awfully good. As excited as I am now, I know no matter what happens, we still have work to do.
amends biggest harold hear mistake moment pleased president talked toward trading
I was particularly pleased to hear how the president talked about Harold Baines. Because in a moment of jest, he once said his biggest mistake was trading Sammy Sosa for Harold Baines. So he went a long way toward making amends for that.

Baseball and business are all about relationships, like the bond between a team and its fans. The White Sox organization's long-term relationship with Miller Brewing has connected our fans to their beers.
