drag grand ideas kenny players sit trying
I think what Kenny was trying to say was that Boras has some grand ideas about what his players should be making, and it's going to drag out a long time. And we're not going to sit around and wait.

Ozzie is the Hispanic Jackie Mason. If you look at him in that light, you don't worry about anything he says.

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.
finally realized won
I think I finally realized we won the World Series.
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.

barely bulls gave lived six stand time wear win
When I gave up law to go into real estate, my mother said, 'How can you give up the law?' But she lived long enough to see the Bulls win all six championships. She would wear all six pendants at the same time. She could barely stand up.
team
We're not a team with a lot of stars.
alone award basic concept employees entire favor giving obviously people players premise resolved whenever wins
We started with the basic premise that an organization wins a championship. Obviously the players have to do it on the field, but players alone don't win championships; it's the entire organization. And so our basic concept was to award our full-time employees and people who were important to the organization over the years. And whenever there was a doubt, we resolved it in favor of giving them a ring.

We're saddened by the news. Al lived a long and good life. We're so pleased we were able to win the World Series this year and that he was able to see it before he died.
