Not to take anything away from the entire Philadelphia Phillies rotation and lineup, but Chase Utley can really swing a bat.
In a must-win situation for his team, Chutley launched a 4-seam fastball from New York Yankees starter A.J. Burnett to the right field seats in the bottom of the first inning to give the reigning Champs a 3-1 lead. Why is this special? It marks his fourth longball of the World Series and fifth of this postseason, which is the most in MLB history for a second baseman.
That my friends, is what we like to refer to as badass.
Update: Holy crap. Utley has tied Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson's record for most longballs in a World Series, giving the Phils a 7-2 lead when he jacked a 3-2 fastball from Yanks reliever Phil Coke with nobody out in the seventh. Five bombs in four games for Chutley. Wow.

BADASS is right! Go Phillies!! Stayin alive so far, only 3 1/2 more innings to go until we go back to the Big Apple!
And not to take anything away from Chutley's skills, but he is not as smoking hot as I remember.
You said it, Megs. It looks like he may have melted plastic on his head.
AND HE TIES MR. OCTOBER!!!
