Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on November 17, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Eli Marrero! From catching curveballs behind the plate to chasing fly balls in the outfield, your versatility made you a Cardinals legend. Who else could juggle positions like they were birthday balloons? Your time with St. Louis from 1997-2003 was filled with unforgettable moments—like that clutch homer against Arizona or those defensive gems that left batters shaking their heads.

Here's hoping your special day is as smooth and effortless as one of your classic catches at Busch Stadium. May this year bring you even more success off the field—and fewer pop-ups to chase down!
