Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on January 20, 1978)

Happy Birthday, John Rodriguez! You swung into Cardinals history with style, batting .295 in 2005 and an impressive .301 in the unforgettable championship season of 2006. Your clutch hits and smooth moves in the outfield made you a fan favorite—plus, winning that World Series ring sure didn't hurt!

Even though it's been years since your glory days at Busch Stadium, your legacy remains timeless. May your birthday be filled with as much joy as Cards fans felt watching you patrol left field. Here's hoping this year brings more home runs off life's curveballs—and fewer strikeouts against birthday candles!
