Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on June 12, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Kyle McClellan! From your debut with the St. Louis Cardinals back in 2008, you've been throwing curveballs sharper than a comedian's punchline. Your pitching was always reliable—just like birthday cake calories showing up exactly where we don't want them.

Whether it was stepping up as a starter or locking down innings from the bullpen, you made Cardinals fans cheer louder than when someone brings free pizza to work. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with more joy than striking out the side and fewer surprises than an unexpected bunt single.

Enjoy your day, Kyle—you've earned it!
