WSC Birth Years: Mark Buehrle

Card #4 - Mark Buehrle

Born: March 23, 1979

Well, well, well. Happy birthday Mr. Buehrle! Let's celebrate by featuring you on a card from your birth year.

Mark is the very definition of a team ace. He may not come out smelling like a rose, but he does his job when it counts. This results in a so-so record, but an amazing number of key moments that keep the Sox in the game.

It also helps that Mark is a fun guy to be around. Before he was banned from doing so, Mark used to use the tarp as his personal slip n' slide during rain delays. Among the highlights of Mark's career (so far) are a near perfect no-hitter to the minimum amount of batters and an unlikely save after a win in the 2005 World Series against the Astros.

I hope you have a great 30th birthday today.
