Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on August 29, 1983)

Happy Birthday, Anthony Recker! Here's to the catcher who never met a fastball middle-in he didn't like. From your MLB debut with the Oakland Athletics in 2011, you've been launching baseballs into orbit and making pitchers rethink their life choices ever since.

Whether behind home plate or at bat, you always brought power and personality to every game. May your birthday be filled with as much joy as those unforgettable moments when you crushed pitches deep into the stands—because let's face it: nobody does "middle-in" quite like Recker!

Cheers to another year of big swings and bigger laughs!
