Let's make this birthday one to remember.

38 years old (Born on December 16, 1986)

Happy Birthday, Alcides Escobar! From dazzling Milwaukee Brewers fans with your slick glove work back in 2008, to becoming a World Series champion and ALCS MVP with the Royals in 2015, you've always made baseball look easy. Your lightning-fast reflexes at shortstop have left hitters shaking their heads and fans cheering wildly.

Here's hoping your birthday is as smooth as one of your signature double plays and filled with more hits than a batting practice session. May you continue sliding gracefully into each new year—just like stealing second base—with style, speed, and that unforgettable Escobar charm!
