Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on December 18, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Lance Carter! You might have retired your glove, but we still remember those thrilling moments on the mound. From your All-Star appearance to keeping hitters guessing with that crafty pitching style and a lifetime ERA of 4.15—your baseball legacy remains timeless.

Sure, you spent six solid years baffling batters in the majors; now you're probably just baffling friends at backyard barbecues with stories about striking out legends (and maybe exaggerating just a little). Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy as watching opposing hitters swing helplessly at your pitches once did. Cheers to another winning year!
