We Did It!

We did it! We won the World Series!

We did win the World Series right? I mean, they gave us the trophy and everything. There's no way that they might try to take it back, right? It's ours, isn't it?

There is no way that I am going to put words to this. I've spent an entire lifetime wondering if I would ever get to see something like this. Hell, I never even hoped that I would see Chicago win a World Series. I just wanted to see a team in the World Series. To finally have this happen is really amazing. It's like my life is now fulfilled. After all of these years, we finally won the big one.

I'll just give one little discussion of the team before I go off to celebrate a little more. It's not even about the team, it's about the coaching staff. This is a team whose coaches basically all played for the Sox. Harold Baines, Greg Walker, Joey Cora, Kenny Williams at GM and Ozzie Guillen. All of those guys knew what it meant to play for the White Sox and they instilled that in the team. With free agency and all of the less savory aspects of modern sports teams still have an attitude and these coaches made sure the players understood.

I never thought that I'd say this, but I'm happy for Jerry Reinsdorf. He also owns the Bulls but it was always known that he'd much rather have the White Sox win. But I'm going to end this night thinking that somewhere out there in the world, Bill Veeck is looking at this celebration and smiling.
