Who is the only player besides Chase Utley to hit three World Series HRs off of one pitcher in their career?

Gonna guess Gene Tenace of Oakland. I know he had a big HR series vs. Cincy in 1972 - but I suspect the correct guy did it in multiple series. Second guess is Yogi Berra off Don Newcombe. I know he got him twice in Game 7 of the 1956 Series, a 9-0 Yankee win.

Thanks, Ripper- it came back to me later that he hit a grand slam off Newk in the second inning of Game 2 of that Series (1956) - gave the Yanks a 6-0 lead, but the Dodgers got 6 unearned runs inthe bottom half of that inning and went on to win 13-8. Glad I did not start watching Series until Game 6. Although I guess Game 5 (Larsen) would have been pretty nice to see.

Jimbue - believe it or not, I AM twins.
I have a fraternal twin brother - we look nothing alike - he got the handsome genes. He lives in North Jersey - sadly, he not only is NOT a Yankee fan, but he despises the Bombers and roots actively against them. It really is such a shame - while we have always gotten along great and are very close, this certainly became a divisive force - if he were only a Yankee fan, we'd be on the phone every night talking about the games - but it has always been a topic that we are forced to avoid discussing.
He is a great person and extremely intelligent - also has an impressive memory. If I were granted a bag full of wishes, one would be that he had always been as rabid a Yankee fan as me.
