This is funny and simple minded, Utley is a class act and has been for years. If baseball had more like him the game would be a better sport. Quite possibly my favorite player ever.

Smart, hustle, heady he played the game right

Yes. Like the time he scored from second on a groundout to the pitcher. It's about halfway into this 2-minute clip: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjoyK5_Ae48

Has been 2019Son's favorite player.
