Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on July 27, 1952)

Happy Birthday, Hoopi! You've covered more sports than most people even know exist—World Cup soccer, summer Olympics, winter Olympics—you name it. Rumor has it that if competitive knitting ever becomes an Olympic sport, you'll be the first to call play-by-play.

From thrilling goals at World Cups to breathtaking finishes on icy slopes and tracks around the globe; your voice is as timeless as those unforgettable sporting moments you've brought into our homes. May this birthday bring you fewer tongue-twisting athlete names (though we secretly love hearing them) and plenty of laughs!

Cheers to another year behind—and in front of—the microphone!
