We really do raise them right in central Illinois. Our very own Eureka native, Ben Zobrist, returned to his Chicago home on Thursday after knocking in the World Series winning run to a horde of adoring neighbors. He spent the evening visiting with everyone. Taking time to hear each of their own personal stories of what this World Series Title means to them. He signed every autograph request, and behaved exactly as you would expect a gentleman to act that raised right here in central Illinois.
Do you have a Ben Zobrist story?
