And Utley Makes Three

Posted by Steve Lombardi on October 29, 2009

Last night, Chase Utley became just the 3rd National League batter, ever, to hit 2+ homeruns in Game 1 of a World Series as a visiting player. He joins Greg Vaughn and Andruw Jones. Via Baseball-Reference.com's Play Index Post-Season Batting Game Finder, here's the list of all N.L. batters to hit 2+ homers in a post-season game as a visiting player:

    Not only third time, but third time at the Yankees in the Torre/Girardi era...but the other two guys were on teams that lost the Series.
