Editing Jon Busch (section)

=== Columbus Crew (2002–2006) ===
[[Major League Soccer]] took note of his USL play and it resulted in Busch being drafted by [[Columbus Crew]] with the 23rd overall pick of the [[2002 MLS SuperDraft]].  Busch did not become a starter for the Crew immediately, sharing the duties in his first MLS season with incumbent [[Tom Presthus]].  He became a starter by [[2003 Major League Soccer season|2003]], but did not do very well as Columbus floundered in the standings.  In contrast, both the Crew and Busch had terrific [[2004 Major League Soccer season|2004]] regular seasons, as the team, led by Busch's goaltending, embarked on a league-record 18-game undefeated streak.  Busch was a finalist for the 2004 [[MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Award]] for his performance, and his impact on the team's season was cited as the third-highest impact of any MLS player on any MLS team in the history of the league by MLSnet writer Jeff Bradley.<ref>Bradley, Jeff.

The Crew's goalkeeping injury woes intensified in 2006, as Busch was one of several injured keepers on the team roster, managing only eight games. He was waived prior to the 2007 season.
