Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on June 09, 1948)

Happy Birthday, Gary Thorne! The man whose voice has narrated more hockey slapshots, baseball home runs, and college football touchdowns than anyone else we know. Your legendary calls have made even the most routine plays sound like epic battles—especially in EA Sports' NHL series, where your enthusiastic commentary turned couch potatoes into virtual Stanley Cup heroes.

From iconic playoff moments to unforgettable video game catchphrases, you've given sports fans countless reasons to smile (and occasionally spill their snacks). May your birthday be filled with as much excitement and joy as you've brought us over the years. Keep calling 'em like you see 'em—you're truly one-of-a-kind!
