Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on April 09, 1981)

Happy Birthday, AJ Ellis! The catcher who stepped up big-time for the Dodgers in 2012 and quickly became everyone's favorite behind-the-plate hero. Your clutch hits and steady glove made Dodger Stadium roar louder than Vin Scully's legendary calls.

From handling ace pitchers with ease to delivering timely home runs when we least expected it—your calm presence was always a grand slam of reliability. Even though catchers spend most games squatting down, you stood tall every time your team needed leadership (and comic relief).

Here's hoping this birthday is as memorable as those epic moments at Chavez Ravine!
