World Series MVP Ben Zobrist named grand marshal of his hometown's holiday parade

The celebrations haven't stopped yet for World Series MVP Ben Zobrist, but now they've taken on a holiday flair.

The Chicago Cubs utilityman and Franklin, Tennessee, resident participated in the city's holiday parade on Saturday.

Not per tradition, this year's event was deemed "Ben Zobrist Day" by the mayor of Franklin, and Zobrist was named the grand marshal of the parade.

Zobrist's family also came out to join in the fun. His wife and kids rode alongside him in a convertible while he waved to onlookers and fans.

It was a well-deserved honor, as Zobrist was the hero in Game 7 of the World Series, hitting the game-winning RBI that gave the Cubs their first title since 1908.
