Previously he played for the Toronto Blue Jays, Oakland Athletics, and Chicago White Sox.
Born on September 17, 1990, the 51-year-old baseball star’s journey started from El Cerrito Youth Baseball.

Tracy White & Damien Semien: Parents Of Marcus Seimen
Tracy White and Damien Semien are the mother and father of Marcus.
To add some further patterns to all of your detective’s thought processes, we have another fun fact. Semien’s mother and father also attended the University of California, Berkeley
That’s right, the player, his wife along with his wife are all alumni of the University of California.
During his time at the university, Semien’s father Damien, was a football player there. He has been a very supportive father to Damien from the player’s childhood days.
Sharing a memory Damien describes the image of Marcus lying in bed and using his baseball glove as a pillow as still fresh and in his forefront.
In 1990, Damien was playing football for Cal-Berkeley when Marcus was born. He chose Cal to play collegiate baseball in part because he attended Cal games growing up.
Talking about his mother, she was still in college when she was pregnant with Marcus.
She mentions that even when carrying Marcus, she never bothered getting up early for classes in the same Berkeley dorms as her son later would.
Both of his parents have been very supportive throughout his journey and they have molded him to be the man that he is today.
