Likely a strong Hall of Fame candidate before injuries derailed his path, Utley will be a Phllies’ Wall of Famer in the near future. While there are too many great moments to mention, here are the top five moments in Utley’s career.

Honorable Mention

Chase Utley “you are the man”,

As said by Harry Kalas after Utley scored from second on a ground out to first against the Braves on August 9, 2006. Utley has been “the man” ever since.
