86 years old (Born on March 12, 1939)
Happy birthday to Philadelphia's original hero, Johnny Callison! Your swing was smoother than a Philly cheesesteak, and your clutch hitting brighter than the Liberty Bell on a sunny day. With four All-Star appearances in Phillies pinstripes during the '60s and that unforgettable walk-off homer in the 1964 All-Star Game, you truly knocked it out of Connie Mack Stadium—and our hearts!Decades later, your legacy still shines stronger than stadium lights at night games. Here's to celebrating every thrilling moment you gave us—we hope wherever you're playing today has shorter fences and pitchers who throw fastballs right down Broad Street!
