Ben Zobrist: Righteous Dude

[Sammy Sofa]

I have no problem with Ben Zobrist: useful player, but I'm kinda weirded out by Ben Zobrist: possible psycho loner. Given that is a team filled with lovable miscreants and scalawags, is he really as quiet and relatively removed from everything as I think he is? Prove me wrong by posting examples of Ben Zobrist being a cool dude. Edited June 7, 2016 by Sammy Sofa

He was universally loved by teammates and the community in Tampa. There was genuine sadness when he left the Rays.

Everyone knows Ben Zobrist is a perfectly normal person. What this book presupposes is, maybe he isn't?

Sure; but that's Florida. Creepy weirdos thrive there.

[Sammy Sofa]

That "is this the base?" thing died a quick death.

Yeah, you're not horsefeathering kidding. This place is weird as hell, unless you love bath salts and meth. Then it's pretty normal.

He is kind of one of those pushy about religion guys iirc

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeah, we all know that. This is his chance for true redemption. He can't be like that all the time.

[OleMissCub]

He is an outspoken Christian and leads bible studies with teammates and stuff. His wife is a Christian singer and he uses one of her songs for his walk up music.

[JennieGarthAlgar]

Joe wanted him over a beautiful Starlin Castro. Thats all I need to know.

[Sammy Sofa]

Dammit, this isn't the "post horsefeathers we already know about Zobrist" thread; get out there and find evidence of Zobrist being normal.

[JennieGarthAlgar]

Ughhh, whyd you make me do this? Total weirdo

I don't care if he is baptizing people in the the Gatorade cooler during the game as long as he gets on base.

Must have been a difficult internal struggle for him when he found out that God wanted him to be a professional baseball player. I wonder if he had a crisis of faith after God made that revelation.

i dont like how he throws overhand to first base

My son played an American legion game in Eureka last summer. Zobrists number is retired there, but the large baseball with his name and number was laying behind the home dugout. Plus the whole field was kind of a dump.

yeah it's really weird

[Sammy Sofa]

Doing a Google search for "Ben Zobrist cool guy" brings back an interview with Chris Coghlan saying he wants to be a "sexy and cool utility guy" like Zobrist. Seeing as Coghlan himself seems like a bit of a creepy weirdo, this is not helping things.

[Cubbie Swagger]

He is an outspoken Christian and leads bible studies with teammates and stuff. His wife is a Christian singer and he uses one of her songs for his walk up music.

Creepy weirdo for sure.

Ugh! There's nothing beautiful about Castro, and you can be sure the front office preferred Zobrist to Castro as well. Say what you want about Zobrist, at least he's capable of fielding a routine grounder without being distracted by the sky.

[Sammy Sofa]

That's also not helping him.

Sorry just trying to fit in.

[Sammy Sofa]

Guys; you're getting sidetracked; as previously said, nobody has an issue with Ben Zobrist: productive player. What we are looking for is the elusive proof that he is not a creepy weirdo.

Is his wife undead?
