Chase Utley Talks London, 2008 World Series, Phillies Trade | The Phillies Show S1E18

Chase Utley is the greatest second baseman in Phillies history, a 2008 World Series champion, a sure-fire Phillies Wall of Famer and a potential Hall of Famer. He was in Philadelphia recently to promote the 2024 London Series between the Phillies and Mets on June 8-9 at London Stadium.
While Utley was in town, he spent some time with The Phillies Show. They talked about the London Series, Utley’s life in Europe and more than a few stories from his playing career:
- The infamous Yasiel Puig story from Utley’s Los Angeles Dodgers days.
- The crazy places Utley has heard “World F------ Champions!”
- The genius of Phillies manager Charlie Manuel.
- Utley’s recollections about Ruben trading him to the Dodgers.
- How Utley’s famously intense game prep helped not only himself, but his teammates.
- Plus, much more.
Utley goes deeper on the stories you think you already knew, while telling stories nobody’s ever heard before. This episode is sponsored by Shibe Vintage Sports.

Chase Utley, you are The Man!!

[@chasecushing6828]

Chase was my favorite player growing up. Me and my best friend saw him hit a grand slam on his first hit. Not to mention World Series y’all won in 2008. That meant a lot to me back then, I tear up any time I watch a highlight brother. You are the man!

[@milkman3034]

I didn’t think I could love chase any more than I do… he is amazing. Great human, amazing baseball player, and one of the greatest Phillies of all time!! Never will be another player like him. Thanks for a great interview

[@ThePhilliesShow]

Glad you enjoyed it. Chase truly knew how to treat people. It's why the people who know him speak so highly of him.

[@elishevajones6730]

Chase Utley is 1 of my favorite baseball players of all time. An incredible player 👏.

[@jimmy-uw5xz]

This man is such a legend, it’s just an interview and i still get goosebumps watching it. All of his highlights do the same as well

[@ThePhilliesShow]

We love hearing that. Thank you!

[@ronaldjackson6333]

Chase is one of my top few all-time Phils. What a class act. I always saw him as standing apart from the run of the mill MLB players, personality-wise. Humble and confident at the same time, and always thoughtful with an outlook beyond baseball.

[@ThePhilliesShow]

We're happy to hear you enjoyed the interview. Thanks!

[@willenholly]

Well said. Also, great on Sunny.👍

[@mattf.1233]

Never heard Chase talk this much in all the years in Philly.

[@dunkelmonkey]

Hahaha ain't that the truth! He let his bat speak for him

[@jaydenmorene9074]

That was a GREAT episode all the way around. You guys should aim to drop an interview with former player/coach every month to six weeks. That was a very enjoyable and informative listen!!

[@user-ud8jg2vv1p]

There are a few players in all sports that stand out because of their love of the game along with talent and a fearlessness that is rare in today’s world

[@rratkinson4696]

Absolute legend!! Tremendous ambassador for the sport and the club…bravo Chase! Go Phillies!

[@BuffRock]

Need another hour!

[@ThePhilliesShow]

Maybe he'll come back some day.

[@PhilliesBaseballCards]

Chase was a great player, and had great baseball cards, too. Love the wall, Todd.

[@ThePhilliesShow]

Todd's wall is pretty sweet! Real cards glued to the wall.

[@dunkelmonkey]

Chase Utley was a class act during his career (unless you ask a Mets fan) and remains so to this day. Harry was right, Chase Utley, YOU ARE THE MAN

[@leighcarasso]

Very good interview. It was enjoyable.

[@ThePhilliesShow]

Thank you!
