Happy Birthday Jon Rauch

Today marks the 48th birthday of former relief pitcher Jon Rauch, who spent the 2011 campaign as the club's closer. During that challenging year, he notched 11 saves alongside five blown appearances across 53 total contests, while also dealing with health setbacks like an appendectomy and knee cartilage damage.

Standing at an imposing height, Rauch is best remembered by fans for a fiery on-field disagreement with an umpire that required intervention from teammates and the skipper.
