Let's make this birthday one to remember.

38 years old (Born on December 12, 1986)

Happy Birthday, Sam Cronin! From dominating midfield battles with Toronto FC to anchoring the San Jose Earthquakes since 2010, you've proven one thing for sure—no one can run quite as tirelessly or tackle quite as effectively while still looking this good. Age is just like another midfielder trying to beat you—it doesn't stand a chance.

Here's wishing you more epic moments ahead. May your birthday celebration have fewer yellow cards and even less offsides than your recent performances! Keep controlling life's field just like you've controlled soccer pitches: solidly reliable, consistently impressive—and always entertaining. Cheers, legend!
