Chase Utley and Ryan Howard put themselves in the record books in back-to-back at-bats in the seventh inning of Game 5 of the World Series in Philadelphia. Each tied an offensive mark originally set before Phil Coke, the Yankee pitcher who faced the duo, was born. Utley matched Reggie Jackson, who hit five home runs in the 1977 Fall Classic. Jackson, incidentally, was in his first year in Yankee pinstripes. Howard tied Willie Wilson, whose 12 strikeouts in the 1980 World Series were at the hands of none other than the Phillies. (Howard went on to set a new record in Game 6.)

In closing, let's look at the NL Leader in Ks. Ryan Howard (who broke Dunn's single-season K record last year with 199) leads the league with 149, eclipsing Dunn's meager 120. Howard's line for the year: .240/.327/.496, 32 HRs (tied with Dunn), 98 RBI.
