After a long winter away from the press, Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Chase Utley attempted to familiarize himself with the various media personnel that flocked to Florida for spring training by taking a photo at Monday's press conference.

Utley, however, had some trouble figuring out how to snap a panoramic photo on his iPhone, prompting an expletive from the six-time All-Star, who wasn't aware the cameras were rolling.

Though Utley offered a sheepish look after his faux pas, the 36-year-old is no stranger to swearing on television. He famously roused the crowd at Citizens Bank Park with his expletive-laden speech following the club's 2008 World Series championship.

Utley, who hit .270/.339/.407 with 53 extra-base hits over 155 games last season, also mentioned Monday that he sprained his ankle in January and will keep an eye on it during the early stages of spring training.
