Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on October 06, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Joel Hanrahan! From your early days as a starter in 2007 to becoming the Pirates' bullpen hero and earning that well-deserved All-Star nod in 2011, you've always known how to bring the heat. Your fastball was legendary—batters still wake up sweating from nightmares of facing you!

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with fewer curveballs than you threw at hitters and more celebrations than strikeouts on your record-breaking nights. May this year be another grand slam of happiness for one of baseball's most unforgettable relievers. Cheers to many more innings ahead, Joel—you've truly earned it!
