Phillies Infield: What’s on 2nd?

For the better part of a dozen seasons, Phillies managers Larry Bowa, Charlie Manuel, Ryne Sandberg, and Pete Mackanin filled out their lineup card with the same name at the 2nd base position.

In many of those dozen seasons, Chase Utley was one of the best players in the game at the position. An NL All-Star for five straight years, and in six seasons overall. Votes in the NL MVP race for five straight seasons, including three top 10 finishes in that balloting.
