Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on April 10, 1989)

Happy Birthday, Cole Grossman! From your first MLS steps with Columbus Crew back in 2011 to bossing the midfield ever since, you've always known how to keep things interesting. Your moves on the pitch are smoother than birthday cake frosting and more memorable than a last-minute winning goal.

Here's hoping this year brings you as much success as those epic tackles and pinpoint passes you're famous for. May your celebrations today be just like your best matches—full of energy, laughter, and maybe even some questionable dance moves. Keep kicking goals (and aging gracefully), because legends never retire—they only level up!
