How Ben Zobrist and his family celebrated an epic World Series victory and MVP honor

CLEVELAND

Outside the visitors clubhouse, where the champagne was still spraying and the beer was still flying, where Bill Murray kept rubbing his eyes and hugging grown men, Julianna Zobrist removed a pair of 6-inch black heels and plopped down on the floor in the bowels of Progressive Field.

It was past 2 a.m. here on Thursday morning, more than an hour after the Chicago Cubs had outlasted the Cleveland Indians 8-7 in an epic Game 7 of the World Series, and now Julianna needed to sit. This was understandable, of course. For close to an hour, as the party raged, she had scrambled through hallways and hustled through concourses, mostly while cradling her nearly 1-year-old baby, Blaise Royal.
