Happy Birthday, Jay Payton! From your debut with the Mets in '98 to helping lead them all the way to the Subway Series in 2000, you've always been a star. Sure, those Yankees might have edged you out back then—but hey, not everyone can say they battled their cross-town rivals on baseball's biggest stage!Throughout your impressive career spanning six MLB teams and wrapping up strong with the Rockies in 2010, you gave fans countless memorable moments. Today we celebrate you—not just for your clutch hits and stellar catches—but also for proving that great players never go out of style. Cheers!
