Happy birthday, Kosuke Fukudome! Hard to believe it's been over a decade since you dazzled MLB fans as a rookie sensation with that memorable All-Star nod in 2008. Those clutch hits and slick catches made Cubs fans proudly shout your name—and opposing pitchers wish they'd never learned how to pronounce it!Even though you've stepped away from the bright lights of Major League stadiums, baseball lovers still reminisce about your unforgettable time patrolling Wrigley's outfield. Hope today is filled with joy, laughter, and maybe just one more chance at batting practice—just for old times' sake. Enjoy it, Fukudome-san!
