Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on September 29, 1951)

Happy Birthday, John McLaren! From steering the Seattle Mariners through memorable innings in 2007-2008 to stepping up for the Washington Nationals in 2011, you've always known how to handle curveballs—both on and off the field. Your scouting skills have spotted more talent than a radar gun at spring training!

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with fewer rain delays and more home-run celebrations. May you continue calling life's pitches perfectly, just as you've done throughout your impressive MLB career. Keep swinging for the fences, Coach—we're all cheering from the dugout of life!
