Happy Birthday, James Shields! From your dazzling debut with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays back in 2006 to earning that iconic nickname "Big Game James," you've always pitched like every inning was game seven of the World Series. Your curveballs baffled hitters and your fastball left batters shaking their heads—mostly because they couldn't believe how quickly it zipped past them!Whether dominating on the mound or mentoring younger players, you’ve consistently shown class and humor along with talent. Here's hoping this birthday is as memorable as those complete-game shutouts—and may all future innings be filled only with strikeouts and smiles!
