Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on June 30, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Chan Ho Park! May your day be filled with more joy than batters felt confusion facing that blazing fastball and wicked slider. Seventeen years in the big leagues is no small feat—clearly you had hitters swinging at air longer than most careers last!

From becoming an All-Star to making history as Korea's first MLB player, you've pitched yourself into baseball lore forever. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer curveballs (unless you're throwing them) and plenty of laughs remembering those priceless mound moments.

Cheers to another year ahead that's just like your pitching: powerful, memorable, and always legendary!
