    Daily News sports columnist Marcus Hayes discusses the Phillies’ trade of fan favorite Chase Utley to the Los Angeles Dodgers with NewsWorksTonight host Dave Heller.

    Utley belongs on the “Mount Rushmore of Philadelphia athletes,” said Hayes, not only for this accomplishments and solid work ethic but because he was so beloved, in the moment and beyond.

    What’s more, Utley “never ever took a shot at the fans,” Hayes said.
