Corky Abraham Phillip Miller (born March 16, 1976 in Yucaipa, California) is a professional baseball player who plays catcher. Miller has played for the Cincinnati Reds and Minnesota Twins in MLB and in the Seattle Mariners organization. He was signed by the Boston Red Sox on April 25, 2006 and added to the Pawtucket Red Sox Triple-A roster. While at Pawtucket, Miller gained some national attention by being behind the plate when Tampa Bay Devil Rays prospect Delmon Young tossed his bat at and hit an umpire on April 26, 2006.
Miller was promoted to Boston on August 5, 2006, but his tenure in Boston would not last long. After appearing in just one game (a 7-6 defeat against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on August 6, 2006), Miller would be designated for assignment on August 14, 2006 to make room for Craig Breslow, who was promoted from Pawtucket.
A light hitter, he is known for his defensive ability and offbeat, irreverent personality.
