Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on January 19, 1964)

Happy Birthday, Jim! You're proof that age is just a number—especially when you debut in the Major Leagues at 35. Most pitchers are icing their shoulders by then, but you were warming yours up for your big moment with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Your inspiring journey from high school teacher to MLB relief pitcher showed us all it's never too late to chase our dreams.

Here's hoping your birthday celebration has fewer curveballs and more fastballs right down the middle of fun! May this year bring as much excitement and joy as stepping onto that mound did back then. Keep throwing strikes in life—you've certainly earned it!
