We've got to win a championship and bring a World Series trophy back to Chicago.

But more important than personal awards is winning the World Series. That's the max that anyone could ask for. Let alone to have the ball in your in your glove for the final out of the World Series. That was the ultimate.

To me it's the best trophy you can win and to bring it back for all them fans that have supported us right through would be something special.

This trophy is so special in the world of tennis and it feels great.

Yankee caps pop up all over the world, not as a statement of loyalty to that team, but as a symbol of - what? Winning 27 so-called World Series? Much of the world doesn't even play that sport.

When I finally held the trophy, it was just how I imagined it would be.

This is what you work for, putting all the other crap that you hear aside. Just being able to participate in a World Series is pretty much everything. But you do want to win!

Baseball is the greatest thing in the world.

I never looked at my mantel and envisioned an MVP trophy sitting there. This is pretty crazy.

You can keep going on and on about the interactions of people, which makes it a great drama and great event, and you'll always hold that special, but if you're looking at a baseball moment, the feeling you get when you win the World Series by far exceeds anything else in the game that you're able to do.
