Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on September 24, 1974)

Happy Birthday, John McDonald! Celebrating a player who's known less for towering home runs and more for dazzling us all with lightning-fast glove work. Your slick defense at shortstop and third base was truly something special—fans still talk about your unforgettable hustle on the field.

Of course, we'll always remember 2013 as your prime year; that incredible World Series championship run with Boston is one we’ll never forget. Lucky socks aside—you brought determination, grit, and humor to baseball's biggest stage. Here's hoping this birthday is as legendary as your defensive plays—and maybe even includes fewer slides into second base!
