Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on August 17, 1983)

Happy Birthday, Dustin Pedroia! You're proof that great things come in small packages—especially when those packages can hit clutch home runs and snag impossible grounders. From your Rookie of the Year debut in 2007 to earning AL MVP honors just a year later, you've always played like you're ten feet tall.

Thanks for helping bring World Series glory back to Boston not once but twice (2007 & 2013). Your hustle on every play made Fenway Park roar louder than ever before. Here's hoping today you celebrate with fewer dives into second base—and more cake slices sliding safely onto your plate!
