Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on October 19, 1965)

Happy Birthday, Mike Gardiner! You threw some memorable pitches back in the early '90s—keeping batters guessing from Seattle to Detroit. Your fastball might not have broken radar guns, but your charm and wit certainly broke plenty of smiles.

Though it's been a while since you last stepped onto that major league mound, fans still recall those clutch innings when you kept cool under pressure. Here's hoping this birthday is as smooth as one of your best curveballs—and may life continue throwing only easy strikes down the middle for years ahead. Cheers to another inning around the sun!
