Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on March 22, 1940)

Happy Birthday, Dick Ellsworth! May your special day be filled with more joy than a Cubs fan witnessing one of your legendary shutouts at Wrigley Field. Your nine-year run with the Cubs was truly unforgettable—especially that stellar 1963 season when you pitched an impressive 22 wins and earned yourself a spot in baseball history.

Even though hitters dreaded facing you on the mound, fans always loved seeing your name in the lineup. Here's hoping today brings as much excitement as those thrilling games did back then—but perhaps fewer curveballs! Cheers to another year of great memories and laughter ahead.
