ST. PETERSBURG -- Ben Zobrist returned to Tropicana Field for the first time since getting traded last offseason and he felt a "little bit upside down being on the other side of the field."
But life is good for Zobrist, one of the most popular players in Rays history and now a member of the Royals. And even if things weren't going well, he'd find a way to make it better -- on and off the field.
"I've said this before, but I think [Zobrist had a huge impact] not only on the field, but off the field as well," said Evan Longoria, the longest-tenured Rays player.
