Happy birthday, Pat Onstad!

OK, OK, we just barely made it. Happy birthday, Pat Onstad!

Happy birthday, Erik Ustruck!

They're coming fast and furious now, as we also want to wish a happy birthday to Erik Ustruck! We couldn't decide whether to call him a defender (the position at which he made his MLS debut), a midfielder (the position at which he is listed), or a forward (his original position), so we just left it blank. Erik joined the Dynamo in 07 out of Santa Clara and saw the most game… Continue
