Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on September 08, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Bobby Parnell! May your day be as fast-paced and thrilling as those blazing 100 mph heaters you threw for the Mets. From your debut in 2008 to stepping up big-time as closer in 2013, you've always known how to bring the heat—literally!

Here's hoping today you're closing out cake slices with pinpoint accuracy and celebrating like it's a ninth-inning save at Citi Field. Thanks for all those heart-stopping moments on the mound; may this year ahead deliver nothing but strikes (and maybe fewer stressful innings). Cheers to another fantastic trip around life's bases—you've earned it!
