Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on May 09, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Bill Murphy! It's always tricky throwing a surprise party for a left-handed pitcher—everything just curves unexpectedly! From your MLB debut with the Diamondbacks in 2007 to every moment since, you've kept batters guessing and fans cheering. Thanks for giving your fans memorable innings and some solid moves on the mound.

We celebrate you today not only for your competitive spirit, but also for setting an excellent standard on (and off) the field. May this year be filled with health, happiness—and hopefully fewer encounters with right-handed scissors! Here's wishing continued success to baseball's favorite lefty. Have a fantastic birthday!
