Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on June 26, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Chris Shelton! Your explosive start with the Detroit Tigers back in 2006—when you smashed nine home runs within your first thirteen games—is still legendary. Fans everywhere remember how you turned April into a personal highlight reel and made pitchers rethink their career choices.

Though baseball seasons come and go, your incredible debut remains timelessly entertaining. Here's hoping this birthday brings as much excitement as those unforgettable early days at Comerica Park—and may every slice of cake be hit out of the park just like one of your classic homers!

Enjoy celebrating another trip around life's bases!
