(South Bend, IN) - A Chicago Cub World Series MVP and former South Bend Cubbie will return to Four Winds Field later this summer. Super-utility player and three-time All Star Ben Zobrist is scheduled to make a special guest appearance in South Bend on Saturday, July 25.

Zobrist was on back-to-back World Series Championship teams in 2015 and ‘16, first with the Kansas City Royals, then with the Cubs. His extra-inning, go-ahead double in Game 7 of the Cubs’ historic series helped earn Zobrist MVP honors that year. In August of 2019, he did a rehab assignment in South Bend.

Zobrist will be back this July raising money for his nonprofit organization Champion Forward. Tickets for an exclusive VIP meet-and-greet are on sale.
