Let's make this birthday one to remember.

37 years old (Born on November 12, 1987)

Happy Birthday, Mike Leake! May your special day be filled with fewer fly balls and plenty of grounders—just the way you like it. Ever since your impressive debut in 2010 with the Cincinnati Reds, you've been making hitters pound baseballs into dirt faster than a kid building sandcastles at the beach.

Here's hoping this year brings even more sinkerball magic and double-play wizardry. After all, nobody turns batters' dreams of home runs into harmless groundouts quite like you do. Keep those pitches low, spirits high, and may every birthday wish bounce right back to you—preferably on two hops!
