I was taught you never, ever disrespect your opponent or your teammates or your organization or your manager and never, ever your uniform.
I've been proud to be a lifelong Chicago Cub and still be with the Cubs. That's always been important to me and I think it's always been special.
If this validates anything, it's that learning how to bunt and hit and run and turning two is more important than knowing where to find the little red light at the dug out camera.
If you played the game the right way, played the game for the team, good things would happen.
In baseball, there's always the next day.
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.
I struggled many times when maybe it didn't look like I was struggling, and I had to work hard every day.
Baseball wasn't easy for me.
