And Burrell had a good season in 2008. He batted fifth, the primary protection for Howard, and hit 33 homers with an .875 OPS. He went deep twice in the clinching game of the divisional series against the Brewers. His leadoff double in the seventh inning of Game 5 of the World Series wound up as the winning run.
