Utley To Bash In Derby

Chase Utley has agreed to take part in the Home Run Derby, which occurs Monday night at Yankee Stadium as part of MLB All-Star festivities.

Utley’s 24 home runs lead Major League Baseball, and he’s been the leader for much of the season.

Utley said the derby is basically like a bad batting practice, and since he has batting practice all the time it shouldn’t affect him. I’ll agree with The Man.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
