Chase Utley is the Philly birthday guy

WONDER what Chase Utley's 33rd birthday will be like Saturday? Since the Phils second baseman's no longer the only man of the house - he and wife Jen welcomed firstborn Benjamin Cooper into the world on Dec. 2 - chances are, he's not going to be whooping

WONDER what Chase Utley's 33rd birthday will be like Saturday? Since the Phils second baseman's no longer the only man of the house - he and wife Jen welcomed firstborn Benjamin Cooper into the world on Dec. 2 - chances are, he's not going to be whooping it up on his big day. Still, he has big news in the stars. Come January, Utley will be psyched to have a project finished. And all next year, he'll be mega-psyched to be part of his just-expanded family. Here's hoping big brother Jack (the family's rescued pit mix) and the Utleys' cats will be just as happy to have a wee slugger around. Birds running back Ronnie Brown barely touches 30 today. Flyers defenseman-turned-WIP color man Bundy Therien ships 40 on Wednesday. Long-lost Boyz II Men original member Michael "Bass" McCary doesn't miss his 40th on Friday. Saturday, Chris "Hardball" Matthews nearly screams 66. Sunday, Haddon Township-raised movie mogul Steven Spielberg smashes 65, and former Sixer Bobby "Sixth Man" Jones merits 60.
