Cubs' World Series MVP: 'We all need Christ'
Great story about Ben Zobrist, World Series MVP.
The multi-talented baseball player – who has played seven of the nine defensive positions since he debuted as a rookie more than a decade ago – has much to brag about regarding his accomplishments in the Majors, where he has made the All-Star team three times. While on the Cubs roster this year, he has played five positions and was ranked number 13 in the Majors with a .386 on-base percentage, which earned him a starting role in the lineup for each of the seven World Series games against the Indians.
However, despite Zobrist’s many accomplishments on the field, it has been his off-the field actions that have attracted many fans, and when it comes to his life as a born-again Christian, he contends that God is still teaching him things on a daily basis.
"The biggest things is, I'm still learning," Zobrist expressed about his Christian faith. "I still have a lot to learn about what the love of Christ is like – that it's not just knowledge ... but it's allowing the truth to change you – allowing Christ's message of grace and hope and love through the cross, that that message is the message that changes the way we look at everything in our lives."
