Baseball Player

The Resume

    (May 26, 1981- )
    Born in Eureka, Illinois
    Infielder for the Tampa Bay Rays (2006-14), Oakland Athletics (2015), Kansas City Royals (2015) and Chicago Cubs
    Married to Christian music singer Julianna Zobrist

Why he might be annoying:

    He looks like Simon Pegg.
    He is a switch hitting baseball player.
    He is extremely religious and isn't afraid to show it.
    His nicknames are 'Zorilla,' 'Zo', 'Zoby' and 'Ben-Zo.'
    He changed his batting intro music from a Toby Mac song to one of his wife's songs.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was passionate enough about baseball as a child, that his parents constructed a wiffleball field behind his house, in order for him and his friends to play games.
    He nearly quit basebal, after he failed to draw the attention of scouts and was talked back into it by his high school coach.
    He was traded to the Rays in the deal that sent Aubrey Huff to the Astros, in what is considered one of the greatest steals in Rays franchise history (2006).
    He is a versatile player, as he can play both the infield and the outfield.
    He organizes Bible studies and Christian related activities for teammates who are interested, without forcing his beliefs.
