Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on September 22, 1981)

Happy Birthday to Alexei Ramirez, the one and only "Cuban Missile"! From your explosive debut with the Chicago White Sox in 2008—launching baseballs into orbit and dazzling fans with lightning-fast plays—you've always been a blast (pun intended) on the diamond. Your slick glove work at shortstop made even routine grounders look like highlight reels.

Whether it was snagging impossible line drives or sending clutch hits soaring over fences, you consistently brought excitement to every game. Here's hoping your birthday is as legendary as that unforgettable grand slam against Detroit! Keep swinging for the stars, Alexei—we salute you!
