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. |
We definitely couldn't believe we didn't win again the next year. |
