Rajai Davis' wife Marissa Davis had her first child with Rajai about one year ago in September of 2013, which means the couple recently celebrated the kid's first birthday. Generally this entails very little other than an infant making a mess and acting infantile. So yeah, the birthday bash was likely not very glamorous.
I really like that Rajai Davis led the league in "caught stealing" a few years back. I mean, it shows character. The man likes to take chances, and hey, that year he just happened to get thrown out 13 times. No biggy; he still stole 46 bases. His wife Marissa is less ambitious, from what I can tell. I've had a thorough look through her Pinterest wall (which can give you surprising insights into a person's interests and hobbies). As you might imagine, it's pretty damn boring. Lots of little cutesy baby things, interior decoration ideas, shopping ideas (apparently Marissa just really loves spending money that Mr. Davis earns). The most eye-catching thing that she has saved is a graphic illustrating a baby popping out of a woman, and then an explanation saying "A human body can bear only up to 45 del (unit) of pain. Yet at time of giving birth, a mother feels up to 57 del (unit) of pain. This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at a time." First off, the unit is called the "dol," secondly, the grammar of Marissa's chosen pregnancy graphic is bad, and thirdly it's obviously not true that a human body can only bear up to 45 dols of pain if they go beyond that during the birthing process. To be honest, the whole thing creeped me out. I mean, Marissa's got this gross scientific diagram saved of a baby exiting a woman's kid tube. Nobody made you have the baby, Marissa!
Anyway, Rajai and his wife Marissa will most certainly have a well-furnished and decorated home, because she's spending an inordinate amount of time saving websites to help her with that task.
Meet Marissa Davis, wife of MLB player Rajai Davis.
Marissa and Rajai met while they were students at the University of Connecticut at Avery Point. They were classmates in their economics class and she gave him a ride to school one day. And as they say, the rest is history.
The couple is proud parents of two beautiful children. Rajai and his family are all living together in their home in Waterford.
Rajai began his career as a switch-hitter but became full-time right-handed hitter before the 2004 season. On August 14, 2006, he made his major league debut for the Pirates, going 0-for-1 in a pinch hit appearance against the Milwaukee Brewers. Seven years later, he signed a two-year, $10 million contract with the Detroit Tigers. Rajai also became the second active player to record a 30-steal season for three different teams.
