Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on August 21, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Jason Marquis! From being the 35th pick by the Braves in '96 to pitching your way through more teams than most fans have jerseys—Cubs, Cardinals, Twins—you've truly mastered the art of baseball wanderlust. Your career has been as versatile as your pitches; you've thrown strikes and curveballs across America like a traveling magician with a glove.

Whether it was your All-Star season in 2009 or that Silver Slugger Award proving pitchers can swing too, you've always kept us entertained. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with fewer curveballs and more cake—because even pitchers deserve sweet victories!
