Let's make this birthday one to remember.

38 years old (Born on February 13, 1987)

Happy Birthday, Ryan Perry! From firing fastballs in Detroit to bringing the heat for Washington, you've always known how to keep batters guessing. Your MLB debut back in 2009 with the Tigers was unforgettable—fans still recall your fearless presence on the mound and that blazing arm.

When you traded stripes for stars (and Nationals red) in December 2011, you proved once again you're a reliever who can handle any curveball life throws at you. Here's hoping your birthday is as smooth as one of your best innings—and may this year bring fewer bullpen calls and more cake celebrations!
