All good things must come to an end. The eldest player on the Dodgers, Chase Utley, has announced that he will retire as a player at the end of the 2018 season.
I first saw Chase Utley with the Triple-A Scranton Red Barons in the early 2000’s, before he was called up to the majors. Although not a Phillies fan, I enjoyed watching him and fellow teammates Jimmy Rollins, Ryan Howard and Company play, and I kept track of them through their major league careers.
Chase had quite the career in Philadelphia—his first major league hit was a grand slam.
