Happy Birthday, Phil Hughes! From your early days lighting up Yankee Stadium to bringing that signature fastball and pinpoint control over to Minnesota in 2013, you've always pitched with style. Who could forget those clutch playoff performances or the time you nearly tossed a no-hitter? Yankees fans still reminisce about it!Now as you're carving out new memories with the Twins—setting MLB records for strikeout-to-walk ratios—you've proven once again why baseball loves having you on the mound (and Twitter!). Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer curveballs off-field and plenty of cake-induced smiles.
Cheers to another year throwing strikes—and witty tweets!
