Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on January 03, 1977)

Happy Birthday, AJ Burnett! From your blazing fastballs with the Marlins in '99 to helping the Yankees clinch that sweet World Series title in 2009, you've always known how to throw a party—usually at about 95 mph. And let's not forget Pittsburgh: breaking a two-decade playoff drought is no small feat; Pirates fans still toast you every October.

Here's hoping your birthday celebration has fewer curveballs than you threw hitters over the years and more cake slices than strikeouts (well...almost). Keep bringing joy like it's Game Seven of life’s championship series—you've earned it. Cheers to another winning year!
