Kevin Charles Millar was born on September 24, 1971, in Los Angeles, California. He is currently a first baseman for the Boston Orioles.

College
Kevin played college baseball at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas.

Minor Leagues
In 1993, Kevin began his professional career with the Saint Paul Saints of the Northern League.

Replacement Player
Because Kevin was a replacement player during the 1994 Major League Baseball strike, he is barred from membership in the Major League Baseball Players Association.

Major Leagues
Kevin played for the Florida Marlins from 1998 to 2002. His contract was then sold to the Japanese Central League Chunichi Dragons.

Controversy
In order for the transaction to be completed, however, he first had to clear the waivers requested by the Marlins, but the Red Sox broke an "unwritten rule" and blocked the deal with a waiver claim.

In a deal put together by the MLB, the Marlins repaid the money that the Dragons had paid for Millar, and the Sox reimbursed the Marlins, in return for Kevin.

Boston Red Sox
Kevin played for the Red Sox from 2003-2005, and was part of their American League championship season in 2003, and the World Series in 2004.

Kevin became a free agent and signed with the Baltimore Orioles on January 12, 2006.

On August 23, 2007 Millar reached base safely for the 50th consecutive game, setting a franchise record for the Baltimore Orioles. On August 26, 2007 Millar's streak came to an end at 52 games. It is the 7th longest streak since 1957.

Personal
Kevin is the nephew of former major league outfielder Wayne Nordhagen.
