That’s what happened when rugged second baseman Chase Utley rose to mythical status as one of the best Phillies in the team’s Golden Era. The name “Chase“ tripled in popularity in the Keystone State.
Manuel managed or coached Jim Thome, Ryan Howard, Jimmy Rollins, and Bryce Harper, but only Utley is regarded with reverence reserved for heroes and saints.
