Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on October 28, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Braden Looper! You're the only guy we know who can seamlessly switch from starter to reliever and still keep hitters guessing. Winning two World Series rings—first with the Marlins in 2003 and then again with your Cardinals in 2006—is proof you're baseball's ultimate multitasker.

Whether you were shutting down batters late or setting up victories early, you've always been clutch when it mattered most. Here's hoping today brings as much joy as those championship celebrations did—and that blowing out candles is easier than closing games against major league sluggers!

Enjoy your day like a true champion!
