Jerry Reinsdorf Since Quotations

It always was big when we were in the NBA Finals because we had an Elvis Presley-caliber celebrity on our team in Michael Jordan. But the World Series is much bigger. I've never seen Chicago this excited. Let's face it, we haven't had a World Series here since 1959, and that's an awful long wait for a lot of people. Winning all those championships with the Bulls was great, but it would be the ultimate of my sports career if we win a world championship.

Dennis has made valuable contributions to the organization and to me since he came aboard. He goes to all of the Dodgers and Angels games out in Southern California, and also is very helpful in contract negotiations.

Dennis and I immediately became good friends, and he's helped us in so many ways since he came with us. Dennis is such a nice guy, and he reminds me of a Jewish mother. He's always concerned and worried about everything. He's very caring.
