Ben Zobrist

Accomplished: Chicago Cubs, 2018

Zobrist has been somewhat of a good luck charm in the postseason for several teams.

Beginning his career in 2006, Zobrist also quickly found himself in the postseason in 2008; all the way to the World Series even.

Zobrist accomplished all of his separate feats with two teams only. Though not all series did he debut in the same year, the Tampa Bay Rays were his AL team and the Chicago Cubs was his NL team.

Zobrist was even the World Series MVP of the Chicago Cubs’ first crown since 1908. That of course came after helping the Kansas City Royals claim the crown the prior year over the New York Mets; the very same Mets that swept the Cubs in the 2015 NLCS.

Zobrist was teammates of course with Lester in 2016 but also with Rodney back in 2013. That 2013 team was beaten by the eventual world-champion Red Sox; featuring their staff ace… Lester.

ALWC: Tampa Bay Rays, 2013

NLWC: Chicago Cubs, 2018

ALDS: Tampa Bay Rays, 2010

NLDS: Chicago Cubs, 2016

ALCS: Tampa Bay Rays, 2008

NLCS: Chicago Cubs, 2016

WS (AL): Tampa Bay Rays, 2008

WS (NL): Chicago Cubs, 2016

The final member, and first member to accomplish the feat certainly ended his career on a high note.
