I dedicate this to Chicago, ... This is for the fans of Chicago who have waited so long. I know they deserve it because they've stood by me when I was pitching bad.

Chicago Cubs fans are ninety percent scar tissue.

The rest of the NHL teams play hockey but the Chicago Black Hawks play hawkey!

Everything has gone beyond my expectations. I've had a great summer, and the fans have been tremendous. Chicago has taken us in and has been great.

This has been the remarkable thing about the fans in Chicago, they keep drawing an average of a million-three a year, and, when the season's over and they've won their usual seventy-one games, you feel that those fans deserve a medal.

We're very excited for our fans to have an opportunity to go to Chicago and watch some great basketball and shop and eat a lot ? maybe a little deep dish pizza.
