NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1970 JOHN HAIRSTON

Here’s a really fun card to add to the 1970 (and blog) collection, a 1970 “not so missing” card for John Hairston, brother of Jerry and son of Sam, who appeared in his only Major League games during the 1969 season:

John played in only three games, the only games he’d play on the Big League level, going 1-for-4 at the plate for a .250 average, with one game at catcher and one in left field.
He would go on to play another couple of years in the Minors before calling it a pro career, but not before being a part of the rare THREE generation Major League baseball family, with father Sam, brother Jerry and then nephews Jerry Jr and Scott playing later on.
An incredible Big League family tree that often gets overlooked when others mention the Bells and Boones for multi-generation players.
Nevertheless, today is the Hairston’s, specifically John Hairston’s, day in the sun!
Enjoy.
