Let's make this birthday one to remember.

37 years old (Born on December 16, 1987)

Happy Birthday, Hector Santiago—the wizard of baseball's rarest pitch! From baffling batters with your mystifying screwball to confidently climbing the mound for your MLB debut back in 2011 with the Chicago White Sox, you've kept hitters swinging wildly and fans endlessly entertained.

Your deep pitching arsenal makes every appearance a delight. Whether you're calmly painting corners or puzzling power hitters into checked swings—your craftiness on the mound has carved out a career pitchers dream about. Here's hoping this birthday brings you more epic moments both on and off course: keep those strikes spinning…and may lefties everywhere celebrate your delightfully confusing legacy!
