Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on March 23, 1979)

Happy Birthday, Mark Buehrle! It's hard to pitch a perfect wish equal to your perfect game, but here’s hoping your day is smoother than your legendary quick innings. May you celebrate faster than one of your famously efficient complete games (seriously—blink and you missed it!).

From clinching the World Series ring in 2005 with our beloved White Sox, to that unforgettable perfect gem against Tampa Bay in '09—your career has been one breathtaking highlight reel after another. Today we toast the man whose pitches baffled batters quicker than a Chicago-style pizza disappears at lunch. Cheers, ace!
