I didn't play the game right because I saw a reward at the end of the tunnel.

A lot of people say this honor validates my career, but I didn't work hard for validation.

If you played the game the right way, played the game for the team, good things would happen

I struggled many times when maybe it didn't look like I was struggling, and I had to work hard every day.

I had to prepare physically every day, and I didn't leave many scraps for the writers

There's not too many guys that spend their whole career with one team and I think it's very fortunate and a blessing for me

It didn't happen, but I feel fortunate for the two chances we had and it's just a shame we didn't go to a World Series for Cub fans.
