PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- "World Champions. World (expletive) champions!"

Almost seven years later and we can still hear Chase Utley saying it like it was yesterday. Or at least, I can.

Specifically, Utley thanked David Montgomery, Charlie Manuel, and teammates Pat Burrell, Aaron Roward, Jayson Werth, Jimmy Rollins, Ryan Howard, Shane Victorino, Carlos Ruiz, and Cole Hamels.
