First back to back home runs in World Series by Phillies

It's 2-1 Phillies over Tampa Bay, bottom of the sixth in Game 3 of the World Series. After a rain delay of an hour and thirty minutes, the time is shortly after midnight.

Phillies come to bat. Utley hits a home run. Howard hits a home run. Suddenly it's 4-1.

It's now 53 degrees and 12:10 a.m.

The first back to back home runs [by Phillies] in a World Series.

UPDATE: Phillies win Game 3 in a dramatic showdown

See comments for correction to original post! Go Phillies!

Correction - this was the first time PHILLIES players homered back-to-back in a World Series game. Players from other teams have done it before. See http://tinyurl.com/6pyntp (goes to game wrapup at MLB.com - scroll about halfway down.)

Thanks for the catch , Edward! I looked up my original source from last night and they took down the info that I relied on - so I guess it was an error.....geeze puns....I'll take out the word "ever" in the post!
