A couple years ago at the trade deadline, he went around hugging teammates in the dugout during a game, putting everyone on trade alert. Turns out he was just trolling reporters. I also recall during the roster introductions at the all star game a couple years ago, they got to Matt Moore and announced "Ben Zobrist" instead and Moore looked lost and surprised and Zobrist had an impish grin on his face like he was behind it. Seems like a prankster and doesn't take himself seriously, even if he may be a religious nut.
