Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on October 24, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Rafael Furcal! May your celebrations be quicker than your sprinting around those base paths. Your glove flashed brighter than stadium lights, making grounders vanish into thin air—a magician at shortstop!

Who could forget 2011: you played a huge role helping the Cardinals snatch that epic World Series victory. Whether stealing critical bases or launching clutch hits, you made baseball look way easier (and more fun) than it actually is.

So today—take it easy on the cake running; after all, not everyone can keep up with Raffy’s legendary speed! Have an awesome birthday filled with laughter and cheers!
