Chase Utley On Return To Philly: 'A Bit Emotional'
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Chase Utley, arguably the most beloved athlete in Philadelphia sports history, returns to Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday night as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
In Philly, he's simply known -- thanks to Harry Kalas -- as The Man.
"It might be a bit emotional," Utley said last week via Todd Zolecki.
"Probably on the flight I'll think about it a little more. I'm excited to go back, say hi to the fans, play in a great stadium. It should be a lot of fun."
