Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on December 19, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Ian Kennedy! You're the pitching ace who once made batters tremble and scoreboards sigh. Remember that glorious 2011 season with the Diamondbacks? Winning a National League-best 21 games wasn't just impressive—it was legendary. You threw strikes like confetti at a parade, making hitters swing wildly as if chasing butterflies.

Now another year older—but hey, pitchers age like fine wine (or vintage baseball cards). May your fastball stay fierce and your curveball keep curving gracefully into retirement someday far away. Here's to more innings pitched in life’s big game—keep knocking birthdays out of the park!
