Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on November 06, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Ricky Romero! You're not just another candle-counting all-star; you're the pitcher whose curveball had hitters spinning faster than kids on a carnival ride. Your 2011 season—where you earned that well-deserved trip to the MLB All-Star Game with Toronto—is still fresh in our hearts like yesterday’s seventh-inning stretch.

Sure, birthdays pile up quicker than strikeouts against your changeup, but your legacy of determination and resilience remains timeless. Here's hoping today brings more smiles than fastballs you've thrown—and believe me, that's saying something! Keep pitching laughter into extra innings this year; enjoy every moment because you've certainly earned it!
