Living my dream, playing like a little kid, moving everywhere, catching the ball and making plays.Next up for Baez and the Cubs: the World Series against Francisco Lindor and the Indians, beginning Tuesday night in Cleveland.

Going through this process, this is why they signed me, Lester said. This is why they wanted me to come here to win a World Series. This is why I wanted to come here, to win a World Series for this city and this organization, this ownership, this front office. ... We still have a long ways to go.Lester and Baez became the first NLCS co-MVPs since Cincinnati relievers Rob Dibble and Randy Myers in 1990.The Cubs grabbed Baez with the ninth overall pick in the 2011 amateur draft. He made his major league debut in 2014 but really turned into a consistent force this year, batting .273 with 14 homers and 59 RBIs while playing several different positions.After struggling for a while in his first year in Chicago, Lester went 19-5 with a 2.44 ERA in 32 starts this season. The 19 wins matched a career high.Youre obviously going to feel more comfortable that second year as opposed to just getting thrown into that first year with a whole new atmosphere in front of you, Lester said before Game 1 of the NLCS.
