Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on May 04, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Joe Borowski! Here's to the man who proved that ERA is just a number—especially when you're leading the American League in saves with an impressive (and slightly terrifying) 5.07 ERA back in 2007. Cubs fans still fondly recall your early-2000s heroics, where you made closing games look like a thrilling rollercoaster ride.

Joe, your pitching style taught us all valuable life lessons: it's not about how smoothly you get there; it's simply about getting it done. May your birthday be as exciting and unpredictable as one of your ninth-inning appearances—and hopefully less stressful for everyone involved!
