World Series
It's not how you start the season, it's how you finish. If you wind up helping the team make the playoffs, that's what you play for. You don't play to put up your numbers, but to try to get a chance to make it to the World Series. Albert Pujols
I would want to go to the future, 25 years in the future, and see if the Cubs ever win a World Series. Jake Johnson
By far, the best moment of my big league career was when I caught the last out at the World Series. Cal Ripken, Jr.
That's why we play. That's why we train. That's why we do everything in the offseason. It is to win a World Series. Aaron Judge
My No. 1 thing is to win a World Series. The rest comes as it comes. Mookie Betts

If Columbus had an advisory committee he would probably still be at the dock. Arthur Goldberg
The appeal of travel books is also the sense that you are different, an outsider, almost like the Robinson Crusoe or Christopher Columbus notion of being the first person in a new place. Paul Theroux

Having breast cancer is massive amounts of no fun. First they mutilate you; then they poison you; then they burn you. I have been on blind dates better than that. Molly Ivins
There can be life after breast cancer. The prerequisite is early detection. Ann Jillian
It's shocking to learn that thousands of men are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer each year and that hundreds may die. Education and early detection are important for women and men. John Bel Edwards
