Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on September 26, 1988)

Happy Birthday, Chris Archer! From your blazing MLB debut with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2012 to that wicked slider and fiery fastball combo, you've kept batters guessing—and fans cheering—for years. Finishing second in Rookie of the Year voting back in 2013 was just a warm-up; you've been striking out hitters (and expectations) ever since.

Here's hoping your birthday is as smooth as your slider and as memorable as those clutch strikeouts. Keep throwing heat, keep making hitters look silly, and remember—age is just a number...but ERA isn't! Cheers to another year of greatness on and off the mound!
