Chase Utley Photo of the Week (7-23-14)

Hi everybody,

My hero Chase Utley was selected as the Phillies winner of the Heart and Hustle Award by the MLB Alumni Association.  It is the fifth time that Chase was given the award.  Chase was also congratulated by former Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay on Twitter in a lengthy tweet.  Since Doc praised Chase for winning the award, I decided that the photo of the week should be a couple pictures of Chase and Doc together.  Congrats Chase!

Chase Utley in the All-Star Game

Hi everybody,

The MLB All-Star Game was last night with the American League winning the game 5-3.  Although my hero Chase Utley was on the losing side...he did have a productive game.  Chase (batting 7th) hit an RBI double in the second inning and later scored a run.  He was also hit by a pitch in his second at-bat in the fourth inning.  Chase was then pulled from the game for pinch-runner Dee Gordon.  Congrats to Chase for his All-Star work.  I'm looking forward to seeing him back with the Phils on Friday.

National Fried Chicken Day

Hi everybody,

Just wanted to wish everyone a belated Happy National Fried Chicken Day!  I meant to post this yesterday but the Phils loss plus my daydreaming about fried chicken prevented me from doing so.  I thought I'd share some of my past fried chicken memories with you all.

Here I am visiting Roy Rogers in Thurmont, Maryland and Pine Beach, New Jersey.  There is also a picture of me back at home with even more Roy Rogers chicken.

Here I am eating some Kentucky Fried Chicken.

I'm just about to dig in to these boxes of chicken and sides from Popeyes.

Here I am about to enter the Bojangles on the Delmarva Peninsula in Virginia.

I hope you all had some fried chicken yesterday.
