PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — “World Champions. World (expletive) champions!”
Almost seven years later and we can still hear Chase Utley saying it like it was yesterday. Or at least, I can.
On Monday, after being traded to the dodgers last week, Utley took out a full-page ad in the Philadelphia Daily News thanking Philadelphia and referenced his infamous “World (expletive) champions” line in his thank you with “WFC forever”.
Specifically, Utley thanked David Montgomery, Charlie Manuel, and teammates Pat Burrell, Aaron Roward, Jayson Werth, Jimmy Rollins, Ryan Howard, Shane Victorino, Carlos Ruiz, and Cole Hamels.
