83 years old (Born on October 20, 1941)
Happy Birthday to the legendary Wilbur Wood, whose knuckleball baffled hitters and dazzled fans alike! Not many pitchers can boast being a three-time All-Star or pulling off an incredible feat like winning—and losing—20 games in one single season. Your fearless style and crafty pitches are still remembered fondly, leaving hitters scratching their heads (and possibly muttering under their breath) decades later.May your birthday have fewer ups and downs than your memorable 1973 season! Here's wishing you joy, laughter, and knuckleballs that always land perfectly. Thanks for giving us unforgettable baseball moments filled with humor, perseverance, and pure magic.
