There is not much to say that others all over Chicago haven't already said. Trading you is possibly the most questionable move Hendry and the Cubs have made since not signing Maddux back in the 90's. You are a leader on and off the field. What you brought to the clubhouse and the fans over the past 2 years is remniscent of the players "of old" who play because they love baseball.  Ryne Sandberg comes to mind.  I hope you have as many great memories of Chicago as we have of you. I was lucky enough to talk with you at the Cubs conventions. You really connected with the fans because you aren't only a superstar on the field but you are a regular Joe, someone we want to go grab a beer with.

My friends and I plan on driving to Cleveland a few times during the '09 season as well as watching you beat the Sox at Comiskey. And let's not forget when you guys come into town in June to play the Cubs.

I hope the Cleveland fans and the team appreciate you as much as they should.
