Okay, so, I got curious about this baseball guy, Marcus Semien. I kept hearing his name around, like he’s a big deal or something. So, I started digging into him a bit, you know, just to see what the fuss was all about. And guess what? It got me wondering about his folks, Marcus Semien’s parents.
Started off with a basic search, just typing in “Marcus Semien parents” into the search bar. You know how it is, you get a ton of stuff, but not always what you’re looking for. According to my research. It’s like sifting through a whole lot of sand to find a little gold nugget.
- First thing I did was skim through a bunch of articles, trying to pick out any mention of his parents.
- Then, I started looking for some pictures, hoping to see some family photos or something.
- Checked out some fan pages too, sometimes fans know more than the official sites, you know?
But it was tough! Found some stuff, mostly about his wife, Tarah Murrey. Seems like they’ve been together since their college days, which is pretty sweet. They got hitched back in January 2012. Turns out she was a volleyball player at UC Berkeley – pretty cool, right? I guess athletic ability runs in the family, or in their relationship at least.
Now, about Marcus himself. I found out he’s a pretty awesome defensive player. Won a Gold Glove in 2021, and was a finalist the year after. Apparently, he’s one of the best, no matter the position. Baseball Savant says he was third in the league for “outs above average” – 19! Only two guys were better than him: Andrés Giménez from Cleveland with 20, and Jacob Young from Washington, also with 20. It is so cool. That’s some serious skill. What’s more, in games played (161) was such a cool thing!
I kept going, trying to piece things together about his parents. Found some old interviews where he mentioned his dad, Damien, being a big influence. It sounds like his dad was a huge baseball fan and got Marcus into the game early on. I also saw a few snippets about his mom, Tracy, being super supportive, always at his games.
It’s pretty cool to see how much his parents were involved. It made me think about how important family support is, especially when you’re chasing a big dream like professional baseball. No wonder he turned out to be such a great player with that kind of backing.
Honestly, it felt like a bit of a treasure hunt, this whole thing. But it was worth it. I ended up with a way better picture of who Marcus Semien is, not just the player, but the person. And it all started with wondering about his parents. Funny how that works, huh?
