Happy Birthday Phillie Phanatic

Hi everybody,

Just wanted to wish the Phillie Phanatic a Happy 43rd Birthday.  I hope the Phanatic enjoys his big day today down at the ballpark.  It is a little weird how the date of the Phanatic's birthday changes every year yet is always falls on a Sunday.  Since I started covering the Phanatic's birthday on my blog, the dates of this big day have been:

2013 = April 21st
2014 = May 18th
2015 = April 26th
2016 = April 17th
2017 = April 23rd
2018 = April 29th
2019 = April 28th

2020 = No Celebration

Oh well, I guess it's just a strange mystery!  Happy Birthday Phanatic and thanks again for making me laugh during every Phillies home game!
