Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on October 11, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Derek Lowe! You're aging like a fine fastball—still sharp, still legendary. Who could forget your clutch performance in the 2004 postseason, pitching Boston to their first World Series title in 86 years? Your sinker had batters swinging at air and fans cheering louder than ever.

Even though you've hung up your cleats, your legacy remains timeless. May this birthday bring you as much joy as that unforgettable no-hitter back in '02. Keep celebrating life with the same passion and humor you brought to every game—you've earned it! Here's to another year of greatness off the mound!
