Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on January 12, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Dontrelle Willis! May your day be filled with more joy than batters felt confusion facing your legendary high-kick windup. Your unforgettable rookie season and All-Star performances for the Florida Marlins still have fans smiling—and hitters shaking their heads.

From dominating on the mound to flashing that infectious smile, you've always brought excitement and charisma to baseball. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much happiness as when you clinched Rookie of the Year honors or helped lead the Marlins toward World Series glory. Keep kicking high in life—just don't pull a muscle blowing out those candles!
