This weekend the Phillies induct Chase Utley into the franchise’s Wall of Fame, with the possibility of a bigger step next summer as he moves closer to Hall of Fame consideration. The celebrations come as the team recalls stories surrounding Utley’s 16-season career, which ended with retirement in 2018. Utley was known more for action than speeches, though a spring-training moment in 2012 stands out: he struggled with knee pain, missed the first 76 games, and tried to rally the club by emphasizing the importance of Jim Thome, then on the roster. After Utley returned, Thome was traded; Philadelphia finished 81-81 and has not had a winning season since.
