Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on November 03, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Armando Benitez! May your celebrations be as thrilling and memorable as those nail-biting ninth innings you pitched for the Mets. Your fastball was legendary—almost as unforgettable as the expressions on batters' faces when they realized they'd swung too late.

Even though you've hung up your glove, fans still reminisce about your epic saves at Shea Stadium. Here's hoping this birthday brings you joy smoother than one of your signature strikeouts—and may life never throw a curveball that you can't handle with ease. Cheers to another year filled with laughter, happiness, and fewer blown candles than saves!
