Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on December 21, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Latroy Hawkins! You're baseball's ultimate journeyman—pitching for nearly every team under the sun with that silky-smooth throwing motion and blazing fastball. Since debuting way back in 1995 with the Minnesota Twins, you've been making hitters look silly while effortlessly defying Father Time.

From your clutch saves to your calm presence on countless mounds across America, you've proven age is just a number (and ERA is sometimes just a suggestion). Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as watching batters swing hopelessly at another one of your heaters. Keep bringing the heat—and stay forever young!
