Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on April 14, 1983)

Happy Birthday, Adam Russell! From your debut with the Chicago White Sox in 2008 to every blazing fastball you threw afterward, you've always pitched like someone who knows exactly where they're going—usually straight past a batter's swing. Your towering presence on the mound made hitters reconsider their career choices more than once!

Here's hoping this birthday is as memorable and exciting as those thrilling innings when fans cheered loudest for your strikeouts. May life continue throwing perfect pitches right down the middle of happiness and success—and may you never have to face yourself at bat! Enjoy celebrating today, champ!
