Watch the Crowd at CBP Welcome Chase Utley Home

Chase Utley will always be The Man in Philadelphia.

Utley received a thunderous ovation from Phillies fans in his first game back in Philadelphia since being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers last August. Utley tipped his cap before waving to the crowd a bit later when they wouldn’t stop cheering. The fans even jeered on the first-pitch strike call. Check out the entire at-bat.

It was just like old times, even Led Zeppelin’s Kashmir blaring as Utley’s walk-up music. Utley commented on the standing ovation after the game.

And Utley would go yard in his return, smacking a pair of homers, including this grand slam in the seventh.

Here was his solo shot in the fifth.

It’s OK to be enthusiastic about the blasts Tom!

The 37-year-old Utley finished 2-for-4 with five RBI for the Dodgers, who defeated the Phillies 15-5. Utley flew out and worked a walk in his other at-bats.
