Back before spring training and the season got underway, Brian Wilson and his beard had a birthday celebration in Scottsdale, Arizona. Deadspin obtained a few photos of the '80s hair band–themed rager and it looked predictably awesome. While we're on the subject of The Machine, let's give this guy props for being such a rare specimen in baseball. You know that this guy, though he has an all-business side, is a good time 24/7. In the past year he's earned a top spot on plenty of men's "celebrities I'd like to meet" list. His personality transcends the game in a way that makes every man want to go out for a beer with him, but end up in a champagne room in Vegas surrounded by str*ppers. Can't say that about some of the league's other superstars (cough, Pujols). BTW: Once you get past the dude with the sleeve tattoos who looks like a toeheaded Steven Tyler/Nikki Sixx love child, just try to take your eyes of the blonde in the photos after the jump.
