Chase Utley is on his way to California after Wednesday's trade from the Philadelphia Phillies to the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he's left the City of Brotherly Love with quite an impression.
The Philadelphia Daily News leaked the front page of Thursday's edition, where they honored Utley - who had spent his entire career with the Phillies - for his time with the franchise, which included a World Series title in 2008.
