Ken Williams Win Quotations

I don't think it is the appropriate or proper thing to do. That's not me. I talked to Ozzie about it because not only do I want to win, but I want to do it in a very respectful and classy way. There's a way to win and a way not to win. And being boastful about it is not the way.

Our manager is doing his best to win the game and to prepare his team for the playoffs,

Ozzie is still growing into his position and the responsibility of his position, as well as am I. We'll continue to evolve in a way that is first class. ... We want to win in a first-class manner and be known as a first-class organization. We got a little bit of work to do, but we'll keep at it.

Understand that a lot of people, generations, have come and gone and not seen their team win the World Series,

What is our record? I don't even know. Like I told Ozzie, the only thing he's proven is that he can win a World Series, not that he can have a .500 record in spring training.

It's just going be one of those things that debated as long as we play this game. It's a valid question, and I don't have an answer for you other than my manager feels he's doing what is best in his efforts to try to win today's game as well as prepare them for the playoffs.

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.
