Phillies hold Chase Utley Wall of Fame ceremony after Bryce Harper's request
Summary

The Philadelphia Phillies will induct Chase Utley into their Wall of Fame during a ceremony at Citizens Bank Park on Friday night. The team opted to wear traditional red pinstripes instead of City Connect uniforms following a request from Bryce Harper. Utley's induction, part of the Phillies Alumni Weekend, will feature current and former players, with over 60 alumni expected in attendance. The ceremony was delayed due to weather conditions, with Utley's ring presentation and a victory lap planned before the game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Utley, who played for the Phillies from 2003 to 2015, helped the team secure two National League pennants and the 2008 World Series title.
