TL;DR
After his high school graduation, Ben Zobrist was minutes away from hanging up his cleats and attending bible college in the hopes of becoming a pastor. He would go on to have one of the most accomplished baseball careers of the 2010s.

I will die on this hill: Zobrist should get some extremely serious consideration for the hall of fame when his name shows up on the ballot next year. He revolutionalized the modern utility player and provided so much more value on the field than anybody cared to realize. He is a genuinely rare case of a player being ahead of his time.

I watch a lot of youtube content about most of my passions, soccer, wrestling, music, etc. There is a very particular sensation that can be found when watching a good youtube video.

Since for the last 10 years, I have considered myself a legitimate and constant fan of 3 teams: the Cubs, the rays, and the royals. That being said, to say that Ben Zobrist is an all-time favorite of mine is an understatement. He took the dream of a lifelong cubs fan and made it a reality. Great vid. And if you’re still looking for music recommendations, check out anything by Ben Folds/Ben Folds Five. I’d particularly say to give the song Sports & Wine a listen.

Been a life long Rays fan. In the mid 2010s I'd defend Zobrist to anyone that would be willing to listen. Never truly great, but always consistently good. I wouldn't want to construct an all 2000s roster without him. That 2009 is insane.

I personally know people who have experienced religious trauma and I felt it was right to be forthcoming about how large of a role christianity played in this video and to let both christians and non-christians know this video was not in any way intended to progandize either side. A lot of people took it as a pure trigger warning which was not at all the case.
