Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on August 24, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Kevin Correia! From pitching your way into the 2011 MLB All-Star Game to joining forces with the Minnesota Twins in 2012, you've always known how to throw a curveball—literally and figuratively. Your arm has dazzled fans across stadiums; rumor has it batters still wake up sweating from nightmares of facing you on the mound.

Here's hoping this birthday is as memorable as that stellar season when every pitch seemed effortless. May your celebrations be filled with fewer strikeouts at karaoke night than opposing hitters faced against you—and may all life's pitches land perfectly down center plate!
