Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on October 31, 1983)

Happy Birthday, Luis Mendoza! From your blazing fastballs with the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals to proudly representing Mexico at the unforgettable 2013 World Baseball Classic, you've always pitched your way into our hearts. Your legendary arm might have occasionally scared batters—and sometimes even catchers—but it never failed to entertain us!

Here's hoping this birthday is as smooth as your best curveball and filled with more laughs than a dugout prank. Keep throwing strikes in life, Luis—just remember, age is only a number...but ERA lasts forever! Cheers to another year of greatness on and off the mound!
