25. Corey Hart

One of the players who helped spark the Brewers’ return to the playoffs in 2008, Corey Hart was a fan favorite. The “homegrown” talent was drafted by Milwaukee in the 11th round of the 200 MLB Draft out of Green Wood High School in Kentucky. It only took him four years to make his MLB debut in 2004, before becoming a regular two years later.

The lengthy 6-foot-6 outfielder was a duo threat at the beginning of his career. In 2007 and 2008 he posted 20-20 seasons. The second of which led to his first All-Star appearance. He improved his power later in his tenure with the Brewers, posting a career-high 31 home runs in his second, and final, All-Star season in 2010. He also batted in a career-best 102 RBIs that year.

Overall, Hart’s Brewers’ career lasted from 2004 until 2012. During that span he posted 154 home runs, 508 RBIs and 83 stolen bases. More notably, he had a slash line of .276/.334/.491. His goldilocks and southern nature were very endearing to the fans and he starts this list at 25.
