World Series 2009 and a broken Homerun record

Chase Utley of the Philadelphia Phillies isn't the biggest guy on a baseball field, but his presence is always felt. Utley is only 6"1' tall, and weighs 190lbs. His partner in crime to his left playing first base is 6"4' tall and weighs 260lbs. Regardless of height or weight Utley did more damage with the bat in the 2009 World Series than any other man has ever done. Utley cracked an amazing 5 homeruns in 6 games, no one in any other world series has every hit 5 homeruns. It is crazy to think that a second baseman would break a homerun record, they are usually considered to have the least amount of power on the field, but Utley defies that stereotype. He hit a total of 31 homeruns this past year, but none more memorable that the 5 he hit in the 2009 World Series as he talks about here. Chase hit his 4th and most memorable 5th homerun in the 5th game of the World series. Although the phillies lost the World Series to the most stroried franchise in history, the New York Yankees. Chase's feat of 5 homeruns will never be forgotten.
