Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on March 28, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Mark Melancon! From your early days in pinstripes back in 2009 to becoming one of baseball's most reliable closers, you've always known how to shut down hitters faster than a New York minute. Whether it's your All-Star seasons or leading the league in saves, you've consistently delivered under pressure—making batters wish they'd stayed home.

Here's hoping your birthday is as smooth and stress-free as your ninth-inning appearances. May you continue throwing strikes and collecting saves with ease. Cheers to another year of baffling hitters and making late-game drama look effortless—just like you've done since day one!
