You don't get a chance to go to the playoffs and World Series very often, but to be able to experience it with the people you love most in the world is really fun.

One person's going to win, and everybody else is going to not win. So let's not feel like we're losers. Let's utilize the cultural opportunities, get to know the other players on the other team, look around you, enjoy your world series.

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.

That's everyone's motivation: to get to the playoffs and win the World Series.

You play to win, to get that World Series ring, All-Star games and whatever comes with it.

I just prepare myself to perform well, to support my teammates to play well, to try to get to the final, to the World Series.

The only reason I don't like playing in the World Series is I can't watch myself play.

I really want to see the Cubs in the World Series. I really do.

I enjoy baseball more than anything and would like to be involved with it forever, but the reality is your survival is determined by how well you compete, not by your fondness for the game.

There's nothing better than a team that comes out of nowhere and finds themselves in the World Series.
