6. No one defined the Phillies better than Chase Utley, perhaps the most beloved athlete in the history of the city. More than Allen Iverson, Brian Dawkins, Dr. J, or Bernie Parent. Chase Utley was Philadelphia. It’s a crime he never won a Gold Glove or even an MVP, but during the golden years of Phillies baseball he was one of the most consistent players in the game. The leader of the 2008 squad Utley hit .292 with 104 RBI and a career-high 33 home runs. He led the league with 27 hit by pitches, and still played 159 games. Utley failed to hit for a tremendous average during the playoffs hitting .220 in 14 games with three home runs, two against Tampa Bay. He’d save his postseason magic for 2009 when he hit five home runs against the Yankees and hit .300 through the playoffs.. 177 hits, 33 HR, .292 BA. . Chase Utley. 1. team
