Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on July 02, 1974)

Happy Birthday to Sean Casey, baseball's friendliest first baseman and everyone's favorite "Mayor"! With a swing smoother than your dugout banter and charm that brought players even from rival teams rushing over for chats at first base, you've always been Hall-of-Fame-level sociable. Cincinnati surely misses those memorable hits you delivered with consistency from 1998 to 2005—almost as much as opposing pitchers dreaded pitching against "The Mayor!"

From cracking jokes in the clubhouse to three well-deserved MLB All-Star selections, you're an all-time great on the diamond—and off it deserves MVP status too! Keep swinging for life's fences today—you've certainly earned every celebration possible!
