Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on November 23, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Jonathan Papelbon! May your celebrations be as legendary as your fiery fastball and unforgettable stare-downs on the mound. From dominating hitters in Boston to clinching that sweet World Series victory in 2007, you've always known how to close out a party—just like you closed out games.

Your four consecutive All-Star appearances from 2006-2009 proved you're not just good at throwing heat; you're also great at keeping things consistent (and intimidating batters). Here's hoping this birthday brings you more joy than joining the Phillies did back in 2012—and fewer tense moments than facing down rival hitters. Cheers!
