It’s the slide that no one will ever forget. Chase Utley slid late and hard (understatement) – a takeout slide that resulted in a broken right leg for Tejada. It was not pretty to say the least. Utley was given a two-game suspension by the league, however as it is still under appeal, he hasn’t served it yet. Despite being allowed to, Utley did not play in the two games at Citi Field during NLDS.
Tejada opened up about the slide and about Utley to the NY Post. Despite Utley sending Tejada gifts afterwards, the two have still not spoken.
