The hell is he selling it for?! That's messed up. It's a huge piece of baseball history that he earned and this millionaire man decides he needs to sell it!?

Ring face value is about$70k. Should go for $1m+ I'd think.
Sad

Man, I would have to think this is something that he did not want to do. Of course, he does also have the one with the Royals, but the Cubs ring would fetch more money.

Man would love to have this ring. Honestly though, I would buy it and then gift it back to Zobrist.

Maybe we all can pitch in and then just rotate it. Everyone gets it for a month

Selling the ring is too ugly I cant fathom breaking the 108 year curse and then selling the ring. This blows.

Regarding a story that was making the rounds yesterday, 2016 World Series MVP Ben Zobrist is not selling his WS ring per multiple sources.

Weird series of events/stories but I guess that has kind of been his life the last few years
“He’s not selling it,” Pucino said. “I had a conversation with him twice — one late (Friday) night and one early in the afternoon.
“I said, ‘Are you sure you’re not selling it?’ He said ‘No, it makes no sense. Why would I sell this ring? It makes no sense. I’m never going to get rid of this ring — never, never, ever.’”
Heritage Auctions communications director Robert Wilonsky told the Kansas City Star the ring had been sold by Zobrist, and the owner was “a collector of championship hardware.”
When Pucino spoke to Zobrist, he told the former Cub, “I’m sure there are a lot of players that want to buy it and give it back to you.” [Most read in Sports] Anthony Rizzo and Willson Contreras are caught in a dugout spat during the Chicago Cubs’ 8-5 loss to the San Francisco Giants »
“He was the (World Series) MVP — there is too much history there,” Pucino said. “He always wanted to be a Cub. He is not getting rid of this ring.”

Maybe someone bought a Ben Zobrist replica world series ring and tried to pass it off as the real one?

Maybe someone bought a Ben Zobrist replica world series ring and tried to pass it off as the real one? Sure will be interesting to get to the bottom of THIS story. Evidently there ARE two rings, however. Theories abound in my mind . . . even the wicked wife theory.

Wow, nice guy. I'd be looking behind my back waiting for Karma to catch up to me if I'm him.
