Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on October 19, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Jose Bautista! You swung your mighty bat and sent baseballs on epic journeys so often that air traffic controllers around Toronto had to stay alert. Your unforgettable back-to-back home run titles in 2010 and 2011 made pitchers cringe faster than fans could shout “Joey Bats!”

Your legendary "bat flip" still sends chills down our spines—it was the homer heard 'round North America—and probably Mars too! Here's wishing you another extraordinary year; may it be as spectacular as one of those sky-high bombs you're famous for launching into orbit. Keep being awesome, Joey—we tip our caps!
