Happy Birthday, Joe Thatcher! From your MLB debut with the San Diego Padres in 2007 to joining forces with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2013, you've always known how to deliver—both on and off the mound. Your slider baffled hitters so much that some are probably still swinging at pitches you threw years ago!Whether it was shutting down lefties or coming through clutch when games were tightest, fans will never forget those priceless bullpen moments. Here's hoping this birthday brings as many smiles as all those batters who walked back shaking their heads after facing you.
Cheers to another year of greatness!
