Happy Birthday, Buddy Bell! You're a legend on and off the field—18 years making dazzling plays at third base while somehow managing not to age. Your slick glove work amazed fans from Cleveland to Texas, shining brightest during those five All-Star games when even your opponents couldn't help but cheer.And just when pitchers thought their nightmares were over—you returned as an MLB manager, expertly juggling lineup cards and pitching changes with style (and barely any gray hairs!). Here's hoping this birthday is even smoother than one of your patented dives down the hot corner line. Enjoy it MVP-style!
