Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on November 24, 1988)

Happy Birthday, Jarrod Parker! From your dazzling MLB debut with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2011 to proudly sporting Oakland Athletics colors from 2012 onward, you’ve thrown fastballs and curveballs (and occasional change-ups) straight into fans' hearts. We're still cheering for those times hitters swung helplessly at your pitches—good thing baseball bats can't file complaints!

Here's hoping today brings as much excitement and laughter as when you dominated on the mound. Even retired stats like ERA envy how gracefully you've aged! Enjoy this special day reflecting on a career filled with memorable saves—the literal ones on-field—and of course, celebrating safely off it too. Happy birthday champ!
