Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on October 09, 1950)

Happy birthday to Brian Downing, a slugger who spent two decades knocking baseballs into orbit! With 275 career home runs under your belt, pitchers from three different American League teams still have flashbacks of you stepping up to bat. Your legendary swing powered countless cheers and victory dances in the stands.

Today we celebrate another epic trip around life's bases for someone whose batting helmet concealed pure genius (and possibly superhero vision). May this year deliver as much energy and greatness off-field as you've shown at the plate throughout those unforgettable chapters on major league diamonds. Enjoy your day—you're timeless!
