Let's make this birthday one to remember.

46 years old (Born on July 13, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Ryan Ludwick! From your rookie days with the Texas Rangers in 2002 to smashing homers and making highlight-reel catches, you've always swung for the fences—literally. Your powerful bat and clutch performances made fans cheer louder than a stadium hot dog vendor on dollar night.

Whether it was your All-Star season with St. Louis or those unforgettable playoff moments that had us jumping off our couches, you’ve given baseball lovers plenty of reasons to smile. Here's hoping this birthday is as legendary as your best at-bats—and may you continue hitting life's curveballs out of the park!
