Holy Crap, Corey Hart!

So the Brewers were down 5-1 to the Phillies tonight (who had Cole Hamels on the mound) when we put up a 3 spot in the 6th inning, to make it a 5-4 game via RBIs by Hardy and Fielder.
Then, in the 8th, Prince rips a 2-run homer to take the lead.

We head to the top of the 9th and Tadahito Iguchi nails one to right field. It's gone for sure when Corey Hart makes the most inelegant leap to steal the ball back over the fence and save the game-tying home run from clearing the park.

The come-from-behind win is something the Brewers have not so much mastered this year. I was certainly not the only one who thought the game was over when the Phillies went up 5-1 and knew we were facing the unflappable Hamels.



Over the TV you could hear the absolute roar of the crowd when Prince hit the go-ahead home run.

Ned Yost thought it was spectacular too: "Brewers manager Ned Yost usually doesn't even know the crowd exists when his mind is churning during a game.

But he simply had to pause when he heard what he thought was Miller Park's loudest ovation of the year as Prince Fielder trotted around the bases in the eighth inning of Saturday evening's contest.

"It brought goosebumps on your arms," Yost said. "You know what, I had to stop for a second, because I really wanted to stop and listen to it. It was really kind of neat."
...

"I'd have a hard time thinking back this year for a more exciting win," Yost said. "Our guys, you could see they were staying after it. They had a lot of intensity. They had a lot of fire in their eyes.

"It's hard to have a good feeling when Cole Hamels is on the mound, but you still kind of had a bit of a good feeling."

Also from that article:

Hart's catch helped Francisco Cordero record his Major League-leading 34th save and left the closer wondering how he could possibly repay him.

"He's got some good jewelry," the 6-foot-6 Hart said, grinning. "If I'm 5-8, I don't think I get that ball. I'm good for something, I guess -- my height."

Aw Corey, we think you're good for somethings - like crazy facial hair, wearing high socks and hitting streaks!!!

I looked everywhere for pictures of Corey making the catch and even tried a screen grab of the video off of MLB.com, but no such luck.
