Let's make this birthday one to remember.

87 years old (Born on April 04, 1938)

Happy Birthday to Bart Giamatti, the commissioner who wasn't afraid to swing hard at baseball controversies! Your steadfast courage in tackling tough calls—most famously putting the brakes on Pete Rose’s betting scandal—earned you an unforgettable spot in baseball history and plenty of nods from fans still debating around sports bars today.

Although your term as commissioner was all too brief, your firm action reinforced integrity within America's beloved pastime. Celebrating you today for stepping up amid controversy and preserving fairness—not an easy task when dealing with curveballs! Thanks for keeping things fair (and colorful). Hats off on another legendary year!
