Happy Birthday, Andy Benes! You've pitched your way into baseball lore with the Padres and Cardinals, throwing heat faster than birthday candles melt on your cake. I hope today you celebrate like it’s 1993—All-Star style—with all those amazing fastballs still echoing through ballparks.From San Diego sunshine to St. Louis cheers, fans won't soon forget your memorable performances or clutch strikeouts in big games that made even umpires smile… almost. Wishing you a year ahead filled only with full counts of happiness—and unlike batters facing your pitches—a stress-free celebration that's truly unforgettable. Cheers to another inning well-played!
