Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on October 07, 1943)

Happy Birthday, Jose Cardenal! You were baseball's ultimate journeyman—playing for teams like the Giants, Cubs, Phillies and more. Your iconic afro hairstyle was almost as legendary as your clutch hits and speedy base-running. Fans still smile recalling how you once claimed "crickets" kept you awake all night before a game!

From stealing bases with flair to making spectacular catches in the outfield, you've given us countless memorable moments on the diamond. Today we celebrate not just another year older—but another season of being forever young at heart.

Here's hoping no crickets interrupt tonight’s birthday celebration! Cheers to many more innings ahead!
