Marcus Semien, the Texas Rangers’ second baseman, and his wife Tarah recently welcomed their fourth child, a baby girl named Amelie Carol Anne. The couple made the decision to induce labor during the break before the AL Championship Series to ensure that Marcus could be present for the birth of their daughter. Tarah informed Marcus of the plan immediately after the Rangers’ victory in the Division Series against Baltimore. The timing seemed right, and they scheduled the induction during the days off. This was a different experience for the couple, as they had never induced labor before. However, they believed it was important for Marcus to be there for the arrival of their newest family member.
A Joyful Reunion

Amelie Carol Anne was born on Thursday, and both mother and baby are in good health.

Tarah, though not overwhelmed by the attention, enjoyed being surrounded by her protective sons. It was a beautiful and heartwarming moment for the Semien family.
The middle names of Marcus and Tarah’s daughter, Amelie, were carefully chosen to honor family members. Carol is the name of Marcus’s grandmother, while Anne is Tarah’s mother’s middle name. By incorporating these names, the Semien family wanted to pay tribute to the important people in their lives. It was a thoughtful decision that adds an extra layer of significance to their daughter’s name.
