Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on May 27, 1968)

Happy Birthday to Frank Thomas—"The Big Hurt," whose swing made baseballs tremble in fear! You're the legend who turned home runs into an art form, and pitchers' worst nightmares were your finest masterpieces. Who else can claim two MVP awards, five All-Star selections, and more than 500 career homers without breaking a sweat?

Whether you were launching moonshots over stadium walls or smoothly joining the Hall of Fame ranks with unmatched swagger in 2014—you've delighted fans every step (and powerful stride) along the way. Cheers on another fantastic year ahead; may your birthday cake be as big as those legendary hits!
