"As a father, I know first-hand how vital it is to have a safe place for kids to play ball in their communities,” Utley said in an earlier statement. “I’m proud to partner with Scotts and support their Field Refurbishment Program, and provide the girls and boys in Allentown, Chicago, Mount Vernon and Wewoka spaces where they can learn the game while having fun. Baseball gave so much to me, and I hope that through this program, we can have a positive impact on the lives of children.”
