Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on August 21, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Craig Counsell! From your iconic batting stance—one that defied gravity and baffled pitchers—to clutch hits in the World Series with both the '97 Marlins and '01 Diamondbacks, you've always been baseball's favorite unconventional hero. Who else could turn awkwardness into championships?

And let's not forget your MVP-worthy magic during the 2001 NLCS; you made October look easy (and stylishly quirky). Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy as those unforgettable playoff runs—and fewer questions about how exactly you managed to hit like that. Cheers to another year of legendary moments on and off the diamond!
