Philadelphia Phillies’ icon Chase Utley is taking on a unique new role with Major League Baseball.
Speaking to Natasha Dye of People — H/T Noah Zucker of Philly Voice — the 43-year-old revealed that he’s moving to London in an attempt to increase MLB’s global presence:
“I’m going to work for Major League Baseball as their ambassador to the U.K.,” Utley says.
His main goal will be “promoting baseball” in London, where the sport has been growing in popularity for years.
The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees played a two-game series at London Stadium in June of 2019.
