Classic moment at the Home Run Derby introductions tonight. Chase Utley was the second player introduced by Chris Berman of ESPN, following Dan Uggla. I couldn’t really hear the crowd noise too clearly, but they must have been booing because it produced a pretty clear response from Utley. Let’s go to the video tape:
Absolutely priceless. Maybe some guys would come across as jerks for that, but not Utley. Completely fits his persona. Video via The 700 Level where Matt P was all over it, too.

I’m so proud of him!
Ex-crackhead hitting an absurd amount of homeruns? Who cares.. Chase Utley telling booing New Yorkers to f themselves was easily my favorite part of the derby.
I agree, easily the best part.
Wow, I didn’t even catch that watching it. Did they manage to bleep it out on the live broadcast? There was a lot of ones that they did catch while the hitters were actually hitting.
It went out over the air clearly on live air. I’m guessing they went on a delay after Utley burned em and that’s probably how they were able to bleep em out later on.
Utley is definitely one of my favorite players and for this I put him on top of my list!!! Dang it I missed this live!!! But still I love watching over and over. I’m glad they didn’t bleep it out, I hate ESPN anyways!
Utley is a tremendous player but why in the hell would he feel the need to throw an F bomb when he plays in a crap city like Philly? The fans there have booed Mike Schmidt and Santa Claus for Christ Sakes! He is also a visiting player in the city of his team’s #1 rival! Buy a clue…
