October 28th, 2009

On this day in 2009, Chase Utley, en route to a record-tying five World Series homers, becomes the first left-handed batter in 81-years to hit two round-trippers off a southpaw in a Fall Classic game. The Philadelphia second baseman, who also set a postseason record by reaching base in 26 straight games with his first-inning walk, goes deep twice off Yankee southpaw CC Sabathia in the Phillies’ 6-1 victory in New York, to match Babe Ruth's performance in the fourth and final game of the 1928 series.
