It's spelled U-t-l-e-y and it = home runs

Good morning, BBQ fans.

Talk it up:
> The hottest thing on the grill today is Chase Utley. He's the Philadelphia Phillies 2nd baseman and, in last night's game, tied the record for most home runs in a World Series. What's amazing is there's still AT LEAST one more game to go. Who is Utley tied with? Reggie Jackson, one of the baseball's all-time great sluggers, who used to play for the Yankees.

> Talk about the drama of Utley's HRs vs. Jackson's. In 1977, Jackson hit 3 home runs in a single World Series game. It was breathtaking and legendary. Reggie was (and to an extent still is) a big personality and his performance helped earn him the nickname "Mr. October". Utley is more understated but talk up the excitement of their home runs and how they changed the game. And what nickname might be bestowed upon Utley?

Enjoy today's hot tips!
