Let's make this birthday one to remember.

Happy Birthday, Ervin Santana! May your day be filled with more joy than batters felt frustration facing that wicked slider of yours. Angels fans still reminisce about July 27, 2011—the unforgettable no-hitter against Cleveland—when you made hitters swing like they were chasing butterflies.

From dominating the mound in Anaheim to earning an All-Star nod and racking up strikeouts faster than birthday candles on a cake, you've given baseball plenty of memorable moments. Here's hoping this year brings as much success and laughter off the field as you brought excitement onto it. Keep throwing strikes—and parties—as timelessly awesome as ever!
