Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on May 08, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Adrian Gonzalez—legendary first baseman and king of the sweet swing! From multiple All-Star appearances between 2008 and 2011 with the Padres and Red Sox, you've specialized in tormenting pitchers while effortlessly scooping baseballs out of the dirt. We still remember that beautiful swing launching balls into orbit; NASA's probably tracking a few home runs to this day.

And who could forget your big trade to the Dodgers in 2012? Los Angeles cheered louder than traffic on Sunset Boulevard when you arrived. Keep smiling that trademark grin, Adrian—no need for candles when your swings already catch fire!
