Let's make this birthday one to remember.

58 years old (Born on May 22, 1966)

Happy Birthday, Jose Mesa! You're still throwing heat—only now it's candles on your birthday cake instead of fastballs. From dominating hitters as one of MLB's elite closers to becoming a legend in the Dominican Republic, you've always known how to close out games and celebrations alike.

Your legacy as a top relief pitcher remains timeless, just like your iconic saves and unforgettable mound presence. May this year bring you joy, laughter, and fewer blown candles than blown saves! Keep enjoying retirement with the same passion you brought to baseball—because legends never retire from being awesome. Feliz cumpleaños!
