Tonight marked the first time Chase Utley stepped into Citizens Bank Park as a visiting player. It was like he never left. When public address announcer Dan Baker announced the beloved second baseman to the plate, Chase’s familiar walkup song of ‘Kashmir’ was drowned out by the resounding standing ovation he received. The applause lasted a little over a minute while Chase saluted the crowd on two separate occasions. As Chase would’ve wanted it, it was all business from there.
All business for Chase means a 2-for-4 day with five RBIs against his former club of 13 years.
