Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale is looking forward to a new beginning when he returns from Tommy John surgery and will be ready to live up to his contract.

Chris Sale celebrated his 31st birthday a bit differently than most of us would. Birthdays are typically an event where people want to be surrounded by family and friends but Sale was surrounded by doctors as he underwent surgery to repair his ailing elbow.
