Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on March 31, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Chien-Ming Wang! May your day be filled with more joy than batters felt frustration facing you back in 2006. Your legendary sinker baffled hitters and led the American League with an impressive 19 wins—making Yankees fans cheer louder than ever.

Even though years have passed since those glory days on the mound, your legacy remains timeless. Here's hoping this birthday brings as much excitement and celebration as when Yankee Stadium roared for every strikeout or double play ball you induced. Keep throwing life's curveballs aside effortlessly; after all, you're still our favorite ace!
