Comment on Pedroia, Utley embrace elder role for Red Sox, Dodgers

BOSTON — Don’t look for Dustin Pedroia and Chase Utley to be turning any double plays during this World Series between the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers. But the presence of both has already had an impact on the clubhouses of the two teams looking to add to their already rich trophy cases. With 10 All-Star appearances and three championship rings between them, Pedroia and Utley are two of the premier second basemen of their generation, each earning revered status that exceeds their stats and awards. Pedroia has spent his entire career in Boston, winning championships with the Red Sox in 2007 and 2013.
