Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on July 26, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Brandon Morrow! From your blazing fastballs with the Seattle Mariners back in 2007 to that unforgettable near no-hitter against the Yankees—your pitching has always been as sharp and memorable as a perfectly executed slider. You've given fans countless thrilling moments on the mound, proving time after time you're more reliable than stadium hot dogs.

Here's hoping this birthday is filled with fewer curveballs off-field and plenty of celebrations worthy of your best saves. May you continue throwing strikes in life just like you've done throughout an impressive MLB career—and remember: age is merely another inning pitched!
