Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on September 09, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Kazuhisa Ishii! May your day be filled with more curveballs than a Dodgers highlight reel. Your legendary sharp-breaking pitches left batters baffled and fans cheering—especially back in 2002 when you first dazzled MLB hitters who are probably still trying to figure out what happened.

Here's hoping this birthday is as memorable as the countless times you've made opponents swing at thin air. Whether you're throwing strikes or slicing cake today, may it always break sharply into happiness and laughter. Cheers to another year of keeping everyone guessing what's coming next—just like that wicked curveball of yours!
