Chase Utley was on the Phillies team that won the World Series in 2008.

“We were a really good team,” Utley said. “So one, I feel like we should have some recruiting credit for him choosing the Phillies because of how, I would imagine he admired what we were doing on a daily basis, one our performance to the electric crowd. So anyways, looking back on him signing with the Phillies. I never disliked him, but he was the enemy. I definitely respected what he did, he played hard, right? He ran hard. Helmets flying off. Hair is going everywhere. He’s diving. He’s intense, which I appreciate, which you know, the Philadelphia fans appreciate.”
