• Lee became the first left-handed starter to beat the Yankees in Yankee Stadium in Game 1 of a World Series since Sandy Koufax beat Whitey Ford in 1963.

• Lee also became the first starting pitcher in history to throw a no-earned-run complete game against the Yankees in an opener of any of the 67 postseason series in their history.

• And, most amazing of all, he became the first pitcher ever — yeah, ever — to unfurl a 10-strikeout, no-walk game in a World Series start in which he allowed no earned runs. In other words, Bob Gibson never did that. Koufax never did that. Curt Schilling never did that. But now Cliff Lee has done it. Against the Yankees. In Yankee Stadium.

In the third inning, Utley became the first left-handed hitter all year to go deep off Sabathia in Yankee Stadium. Then, in the sixth inning, he became the first left-handed hitter to do that in, well, three innings. And that barrage made Utley (A) the third Phillie in history (along with Howard and Lenny Dykstra) to make two home-run trots in a World Series game, (B) the fourth National Leaguer in history to hit two homers in Game 1 of a World Series and (C) — be sure to roll this one around your brain for a moment — just the second left-handed hitter in history to hit two home runs off a left-handed pitcher in a World Series game. The other: Babe Ruth in 1928.
