Chase Utley’s Slide Was Dirty

When Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman and hustle fetishist Chase Utley slid into second base during game two of the National League Division Series on Saturday night, everyone watching knew what was on his mind: Stop Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada from turning a double play, by any means necessary. Utley did break up the double play. He also broke Tejada’s leg, inspiring torrents of outrage and earning himself a two-game suspension (on hold pending an appeal). The controversial slide prompted fears that Tuesday’s game at Citi Field might bring retaliation if Utley were to play. It also renewed a debate over whether Major League Baseball should reconsider its rules on the legality of hard slides.
