Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on March 26, 1982)

Happy birthday, Brendan Ryan—the man who could scoop grounders in his sleep and turn double plays smoother than a freshly groomed infield! Your glove was so reliable, rumor has it even gravity asked you for pointers. From the Cardinals to your adventures across Major League Baseball diamonds, fans everywhere appreciated that legendary defense.

May your cake be easier to slice through than your athletic dives into shortstop gaps. No matter how many birthdays pass by, we'll always cherish those iconic defensive gems that left highlights reels smiling. Here's wishing another year of great hands—and minimal errors off the field too!
