The New York Times has the latest piece praising the great Chase Utley as being intense, prepared, and extremely humble. Chase is called the anti-Manny Ramirez and described by Davey Lopes as a throwback player. I found this anecdote enjoyable.

Chase announced that he was going to match those players and be on a
card someday. He was right.
