Let's make this birthday one to remember.

65 years old (Born on September 17, 1960)

Happy Birthday to the legendary John Franco! Like your pitching, we hope your celebrations are full of perfectly-timed saves—that is, saving room for cake and plenty of laughter. The Mets bullpen has truly never had anyone quite like you—steady under pressure, unstoppable with a grin!

Your four All-Star appearances and staggering 424 career saves prove you're as timeless as birthday candles on a delicious New York cheesecake (classic!). May this year bring more cheers than Citi Field in October—and may every moment be just another perfect pitch toward happiness.

Here's to you—legendary reliever and forever ace!
