Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on July 09, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Willie Wilson! You're still rounding the bases faster than most of us can tie our shoes. From stealing hearts (and plenty of bases) to leading the Royals with unmatched speed and style, you've always been an All-Star both on and off the field.

We fondly remember your electrifying performances in Kansas City—two-time All-Star appearances, a batting title in 1982, and that unforgettable World Series championship run in '85. Your leadership inspired teammates; your hustle thrilled fans. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as you brought Royals Nation over all those incredible seasons. Keep sprinting through life!
