Former Phillie Chase Utley Reveals Young Mets Fan Told Him ‘I Hope You Blanking Die’ During Game

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Chase Utley will forever have a place in Phillies fans’ hearts, and he’ll forever own space in Mets fans’ heads rent free. Utley joined WFAN’s “Boomer & Gio” Wednesday to discuss everything from breaking Ruben Tejada’s leg to Phillies-Mets to bat flips.

Utley, arguably the face of the Phillies’ golden era from 2007 to 2011, tortured the Mets throughout his career both in Philadelphia and in Los Angeles. The Phillies-Mets rivalry was as intense as any during those years, and Utley was very much at the front of it all.

The six-time All-Star, in particular, recalled one incident that occurred in Flushing, New York, involving a young boy.
