Let's make this birthday one to remember.

63 years old (Born on October 20, 1961)

Happy Birthday, Jerry Meals! You've spent decades calling baseball games, keeping order on the diamond and mastering that mysterious umpire stare. From your debut in 1998 to calling balls and strikes at the memorable 2002 All-Star Game—your steady presence behind the plate has become as familiar as peanuts and crackerjacks.

In a career filled with high-pressure moments, playoff thrills, and occasional run-ins with managers barking their "friendly advice," you've shown grace under fire. May your birthday be free from ejections—or at least filled with folks who respect your strike zone decisions! Have an outstanding day, Jerry; you're safe at home today!
