ANAHEIM, Calif. – Ben Zobrist hung out in Disneyland territory, waiting to make his Cubs debut, while the Kansas City Royals raised their World Series flag on Sunday night at Kauffman Stadium.
Zobrist won’t be there on Tuesday when the Royals get their championship rings before another World Series rematch with the New York Mets. Kansas City general manager Dayton Moore told Zobrist that he would personally deliver it when their schedules match up at some point this season.

But Zobrist can still picture the sea of blue at Union Station – how Kansas City Mayor Sly James estimated 800,000 fans turned out for that downtown parade last November – and envision what the scene would be like in Chicago.
