Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on January 16, 1980)

Happy Birthday Albert Pujols, the man who swings harder than a kid smashing piñatas at his birthday party! Your career knocked it out of Busch Stadium more times than fans could count. From your 700-plus home runs to multiple MVP awards and World Series victories with the Cardinals—your legacy is proof that baseballs everywhere still tremble whenever they hear your name.

Just like cards memorabilia or toasted ravioli in St. Louis, class acts never lose their charm—we're all grateful you've showcased timeless talent mixed perfectly with legendary heart for so long! Hope today finds you rounding many bases—and hopefully none involving candles on cake fires this time around!
