Chase Utley may find those throws to first base a challenge, but he doesn't seem to have any problems with the offensive part of October. He now has reached base in 23 consecutive postseason games -- the second-longest streak in history. The only streak longer, according to baseball-reference.com's Play Index: 25 games, by Boog Powell (1966-71). Utley had been tied at 22 with two guys you might have heard of: Rickey Henderson and Joe Morgan.
