Baltimore Orioles infielder Jackson Holliday, one of the top prospects in Major League Baseball, is the son of MLB All-Star Matt Holiday and one of four children in that family. Gracyn, Matt Holliday's only daughter, posted 45th birthday wishes to her father on her Instagram story on Wednesday.
Gracyn shared a photo of her father in a boat and had a touching caption to honor Matt Holiday:
Trending
"Happy birthday to the greatest! @matthollidayosu you're my favorite guy ❤️❤️❤️"
Gracyn is just 15 years old, but that is near the same time that her two older brothers started drawing national attention for their baseball talent. Jackson Holliday was the top selection in the 2022 MLB draft by the Baltimore Orioles, and brother Ethan is currently the top prospect.
The youngest of the Holliday children, Gracyn has often celebrated her older siblings, including posting photos from on the field in Baltimore.
Matt Holliday is most known for his play as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals, but also starred for the Colorado Rockies.
Jackson Holliday's sister Gracyn celebrates brother's first anniversary
Jackson Holliday first met wife Chloe when the two attended Stillwater High School in Oklahoma, and they remained a couple as he transitioned to pro baseball. Jackson and Chloe have been on several trips throughout the offseason, and they recently celebrated a big milestone in their lives.
Jackson Holliday made a post on Instagram on Jan. 6 to wish a happy anniversary to his wife. Their first year of marriage brought many changes to their lives, but Jackson had a simple message for his high school sweetheart:
"1 year of being married to my best friend. I love you @chloehollidayyy."
Gracyn Holliday commented on her brother's post with a one-word response:
"Boom."
It will soon be time for Jackson Holliday to make his return to the field, and he will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing rookie campaign. Jackson will have the support of his entire family, including new 45-year-old Matt Holliday.
