Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on April 21, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Coach Brian O'Connor! Your remarkable leadership and unforgettable moments keep inspiring us year after year. Since being named the 2009 National Coach of the Year, you've proven time and again that baseball is not just a game—it's artistry on grass. But don't worry—we won't remind everyone how many birthdays you’ve celebrated since then!

Your passion for coaching has guided countless young talents at UVA toward success on—and off—the field. Even though your office might now have more trophies than birthday candles (probably wise to avoid fire hazards anyway), hope today hits it out of the park—just like your teams always do. Cheers to another winning season ahead!
