Let's make this birthday one to remember.

65 years old (Born on May 09, 1960)

Happy birthday to Tony Gwynn—the only batter who could make hitting over .300 look easier than blowing out candles on a cake! With eight National League batting titles and fifteen All-Star appearances spanning two decades proudly with the San Diego Padres, your hits were smoother than icing.

Your consistency at bat was legendary—almost unfairly good. Pitchers still have nightmares wondering how anyone can hit baseballs like they're beach balls year after year. Today we salute Mr. Padre himself: timeless talent, classic swing, and forever everyone's toughest—and friendliest—opponent. Here's wishing you laughter as sweet as one of your perfectly-timed swings!
