Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on December 25, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Christian! From crushing baseballs drafted in the 5th round by the Rockies back in 2003, to becoming a legend on and off the field—your swing has always been smoother than birthday cake frosting. May your day be filled with more home runs than candles (though at this point, that's quite a few!).

Here's hoping your year ahead is as memorable as your best moments on the diamond. Keep knocking life's curveballs out of the park and remember: age is just another stat—and you've always had impressive numbers! Cheers to another inning of greatness, Christian!
