Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on October 10, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Placido Polanco! You're smoother at third base than frosting on a birthday cake—three Gold Gloves and two All-Star appearances prove you made flashy glove-work look effortless. You've fielded grounders cleaner than most folks unwrap presents, setting defensive standards higher each game.

Surely your special day is as memorable as your clutch performances throughout your career. Here's hoping today you're celebrated like it's the bottom of the ninth with bases loaded—and everyone's cheering for you again. Enjoy it like a perfectly turned double play: swift, stylish and legendary in every way!
