Field Report: Before beginning our multi-state, three ballpark odyssey on Saturday morning, Jenna and I attended the Chase Utley Wall of Fame induction ceremony at the ballpark. This has become a tradition for us, and it's one of the best things the Phillies do all year. We waited out the two hour rain delay at the outset to listen to Pat Burrell's and Utley's speeches before the game began. They passed on the traditional "victory lap" around the field in a Toyota truck, likely due to more rain on the way and the fact the ballgame had already been significantly delayed. Still, it was a fantastic ceremony and I'm glad we were there. With a big trip kicking off the following morning, we admittedly departed the game early along with several thousand of our fellow fans.
