I played for the Cubs [from 1951 to '58], and we never made it. Then I joined the White Sox, and lo and behold, the good Lord was with me. I got to the World Series.

It was fabulous. You know the animosity between the Cub fans and Sox fans? Well, even the Cubs side of town went crazy when we won [the pennant]. It wasn't like the Cubs fans were mad at us. The whole city united.

I always liked him when he was with the White Sox,

I truly believe the White Sox are going to win it,

When I heard I got traded to the White Sox I was really excited because I know they are a world championship team and I know they are trying to do it again. I know Kenny Williams has done a great job of keeping the team together and adding some pieces like Jim Thome.

the rumors of the White Sox demise are greatly exaggerated.
