Phillies' Utley has utterly no Hollywood ego

You can take the kid out of L.A., but you can’t take L.A. out of the kid. Unless, that is, the kid is Chase Utley, who no sooner would brag about himself than play second base naked.

Utley is a metronome, a three-time All-Star and the most popular player on the Philadelphia Phillies, by far. In a town that eats its stars, he is beloved.

He left L.A. without the Hollywood ego. He never had one. He shows up early every day, works hard, plays hard and deflects attention onto others. He would rather not talk at all, thank you very much, and he says nothing even remotely controversial.

We tried. This is as close as we could get: There is no…

Utley's play speaks volumes

PHILADELPHIA — You can take the kid out of L.A., but you can’t take L.A. out of the kid. Unless, that is, the kid is Chase Utley, who would no sooner brag about himself than play second base naked.

Rollins, Howard, Utley rank among Phils' all-time greats

Lancaster Online By ED GRUVER

From Wade Boggs and Cal Ripken Jr. to Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds, reliever Arthur Rhodes has faced his fair share of superstars.

It’s all part of being a 16-year veteran of The Show, of making 630 career appearances and logging 1,034 innings at the big league level.

So it can be said with some certainty that when it comes to assessing this generation of stars, in particular the Phillies’ Big Three of Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley and Ryan Howard, Rhodes speaks from experience.

“They’re good hitters and you have to deal with them,” the Marlins’ southpaw said prior to fanning the only two batters he faced en route to earning a hold in Tuesday night’s 8-2 Florida win…

Utley enjoys All-Star Game spectacle

The parade up Sixth Avenue. The YouTube moment. The Home Run Derby. The 40 dozen autographs.

Chase Utley’s third trip to the All-Star Game didn’t end in victory last night, but he certainly left with some interesting parting gifts.

The much-hyped Yankee Stadium All-Star Game ended the way so many others have in recent years, with an American League win in a famous AL ballpark.

The AL pulled out a 4-3 victory in the bottom of the 15th and once again will enjoy home-field advantage in the World Series.

That might come back to bite Utley in October.

If he and the Phillies are lucky.

Utley left Yankee Stadium with a satchel full of memories. He set up a run with a sixth-inning single as the…
