Pablo “Kung Fu Panda” Sandoval celebrates his 40th birthday as a three-time World Series champion and two-time All-Star, known for his pivotal role in the San Francisco Giants’ success during the 2010s. He debuted in 2009 and excelled as the team’s third baseman, particularly in 2012 when he was the World Series MVP, hitting .364 in the postseason.
