Chase Utley is public enemy No. 1 in New York after fracturing Ruben Tejada's fibula with an illegal slide, and the Mets fan base expressed their displeasure with the Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman during player introductions prior to Game 3.
Over 45,000 strong broke out in chants of "Utley sucks!" followed by a chorus of boos.
