Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on November 18, 1980)

Happy Birthday, C.J. Wilson! May your day be filled with more curveballs than a batter can handle and fewer surprises than an umpire's strike zone. From dominating the mound in Texas to dazzling fans as an Angel, you've always pitched like you're allergic to boredom.

Your impressive All-Star appearances and clutch playoff performances have left hitters baffled—and us thoroughly entertained. Here's hoping this birthday brings you joy equal to that unforgettable complete-game shutout or those epic postseason battles. Keep throwing heat off the field just as brilliantly as you did on it—cheers to another year of greatness!
