What is Kevin Millar’s career?
Millar began his professional baseball career in the minors in 1993, with the Northern League’s St. Paul Saints. In 63 games, he hit 260 with five home runs and 30 RBIs.
The Florida Marlins bought Millar’s contract at the beginning of the 1998 season. He made his debut with the squad in a loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Millar participated in one more game for the Marlins before finishing the season in the minors with the Triple-A Charlotte Knights. With the Knights, he hit 326 with four home runs and 15 RBI. Millar returned to the Marlins the following season and remained with the organization until 2002.
Following the 2002 season, Millar was sold to the Chunichi Dragons of the Japanese Central League. To finalize the move, he first needed to clear the waivers requested by the Marlins. However, the Boston Red Sox, who wanted Millar, vetoed the deal with their own waiver claim.
Millar signed a two-year contract with the Dragons in early 2003, but in an extraordinary agreement mediated by MLB, the Marlins later reimbursed the Dragons’ money for Millar, and the Red Sox paid a similar number to the Marlins in exchange for Millar. Consequently, Millar was transferred to the Red Sox.
Millar had a good debut season with the Red Sox, propelling the team to the 2003 ALCS. The following season was even better, with the Red Sox defeating the New York Yankees in the ALCS and sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series. This was the Red Sox’s first World Series title since 1918. Millar spent one more season with the squad in 2005. That year, the Red Sox advanced to the ALDS, where they were swept by eventual World Series champions the Chicago White Sox.
In early 2006, Millar signed a one-year contract with the Baltimore Orioles. He batted for the squad his entire rookie season 272 with 15 homers and 64 RBI. Millar agreed to a new one-year contract with the Orioles in late 2006, with an option for 2008. Millar set a franchise record during his second season by reaching base safely in 50 straight games. His streak ended three days later, at 52 games. Millar spent one more season with the Orioles in 2008.
