Interview with Manatees Hitting Coach Corey Hart

With many sports fans enjoying the Final Four and the final exhibition game not until 9 PM, it's a slow day for Brewers news. In case you're interested, the Brevard County Manatees' web site interviewed Corey Hart last week. Before you ask, the Brewers' right fielder hasn't retired to a coaching career. No, this is the other Corey Hart, a .242/.371/.317 hitter over eight seasons in the minors. My favorite part is the story of how he got the job:

"I went to Spring Training with the Brewers in 2006. Halfway through camp, I was released on a Friday and offered the Brevard County hitting coach job at same time. I interviewed on Saturday and was coaching on Sunday."

Oh, and "Fear the Sea Cow!" is one hell of a rallying cry.
