Happy birthday, Jason Motte! The man whose fastball has consistently celebrated birthdays much faster than you have. From debuting in 2008 with the Cardinals to delivering that iconic final out clinching the World Series title for St. Louis in 2011—your career’s greatest gift was clearly your clutch performance under pressure!May this next year be smoother and less stressful than facing hitters in extra innings—or at least far easier on your beard maintenance schedule. Keep rocking those reliever vibes; after all these years, everyone knows pitchers like fine wine just get better—and occasionally stranger—with age!
