Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on March 02, 1983)

Happy Birthday, Glen Perkins! You're the hometown hero who made Minnesota proud by stepping onto that mound and closing games with ice-cold nerves. From your first save in 2012 to becoming a three-time All-Star, you've given Twins fans countless reasons to cheer—and opposing batters plenty of nightmares.

May your birthday be as smooth and effortless as one of your ninth-inning strikeouts. Here's hoping you celebrate today like it's Game 7—minus all the pressure (and maybe add some extra cake). Thanks for always bringing excitement home; you're forever our favorite closer both on and off Target Field's diamond!
