Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on December 14, 1942)

Happy birthday, Jim Roland! From Minnesota to Oakland, New York to Texas—you made an art form out of rescuing games and relieving stressed-out starters. Your pitching arm was so reliable it should have come with a warranty: "Guaranteed relief or your inning back!"

Whether striking out batters for the Twins or holding down the fort as a Yankee and Ranger, you always brought excitement (and probably nerves!) whenever you'd jog in from those bullpen gates. On this special day—celebrate like it's game seven at Yankee Stadium—and just be careful blowing out candles; with your throwing strength, they might end up next door!
