Basketball is a great sport. Baseball is a religion, and I truly believe that. Ask 10 people what was the first basketball game they went to and whom did they go with, then ask them what was the first baseball game and whom they went with, and there's a good chance that all 10 will remember the baseball and none of them will remember the basketball or the football or the hockey. - Jerry Reinsdorf Quotes

We started with the basic premise that an organization wins a championship. Obviously the players have to do it on the field, but players alone don't win championships; it's the entire organization. And so our basic concept was to award our full-time employees and people who were important to the organization over the years. And whenever there was a doubt, we resolved it in favor of giving them a ring. - Jerry Reinsdorf Quotes

Baseball and business are all about relationships, like the bond between a team and its fans. The White Sox organization's long-term relationship with Miller Brewing has connected our fans to their beers. - Jerry Reinsdorf Quotes

I think it's time for the people in Chicago to understand that there's an American League team and a National League team, and we ought to root for both of those teams. We're Chicago fans. This business of hating the other team is ridiculous. - Jerry Reinsdorf Quotes

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. - Jerry Reinsdorf Quotes

I think a large segment of White Sox fans believe that they don't get enough attention, that their team doesn't get enough attention, for them. I think that has got to be a great satisfaction. - Jerry Reinsdorf Quotes
