Jerry Reinsdorf Series Quotations

He gets a lot of credit for the World Series team, but I thought he also did a good job the last several seasons. He made some bold moves that didn't quite work out, but they were the right moves.

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.

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.

Don't write us off. Nobody thought we'd win the World Series in 2005, but we did. There are years when we think we're great, and we're bad. I mean, the funny thing about this game is that you can't figure it out.

A lot of stuff he tells to the media he's just making it up. You don't know what to believe and what not to believe. Look, if we win the World Series I might retire. Let's win a World Series and see if he's serious.

In order for a team, an ordinary team, to win the World Series -- by ordinary team, that's everybody other than the Yankees -- all sorts of things have to happen, the stars really have to line up in the right order. You have to have a lot of breaks, and we got them. I can think of a zillion breaks that we got in the postseason.

We win the World Series and Ozzie retires, who says I'm not going to retire?
