Chase Utley – Phillies/2B (2002-15) Chase “the Man” Utley was the greatest second baseman in team history. A fixture throughout the greatest era in Phillies baseball, Utley led the Phils to a World Series Championship in 2008. His 7 career World Series HRs is the most ever for a second baseman. The six-time NL All Star and four-time Silver Slugger was named to Sports Illustrated 2000’s All-Decade Team. Utley won the Mike Schmidt MVP Award in 2005. His 35-game hitting streak in 2006 was tied for the longest ever by a second baseman. While Utley was good at hitting the ball, the ball was good at hitting Utley as evidenced by his team record 173 career HBPs.
Following the Phillies 2008 World Series Victory Parade, the soft-spoken Utley stunned the crowd gathered at Citizen’s Bank Park when he infamously shouted on live TV “World F**king Champions!”
