Reason To Smirk: Phils Utley Putting On 'Ruthian' Show In World Series

Philadelphia, PA. (AHN) - Chase Utley doesn't brag, but his continual smirk does it for him.

The Philadelphia Phillies slugger has reason to be a bit smug with five homers and eight RBI in a Babe Ruth-ian type performance in the World Series.

Utley has five homers and eight RBI in the Classic, including two homers and four RBi in Wednesday's 8-6 win.

Some players, like Kirk Gibson and Joe Carter have a moment of greatness with game-winning home runs.

Utley, however, is threatening to take over the entire series despite the fact the Yanks are up 3-2 heading home to the Bronx.

What about the Babe Ruth comparison?

Utley has more homers and RBI in any single World Series the Sultan of Swat competed in.

Ruth hit four homers in the 1926 Classic and drove in a high of seven runs the following season.
