John Hairston



John Hairston played in exactly two games in his major league career. The only thing that saves him from Moonlight Graham territory is that he played those two games with the 1969 Chicago Cubs. That and the fact that he is the uncle of solid major league star Jerry Hairston.

Hairston actually started one game at catcher for the '69 Cubs. He lasted 5 innings. He played in another five innings as an outfielder. That's it. Thank you John for playing. You can pick up a copy of the home game as you leave.

All sarcasm aside. The very fact that I am mentioning him on a web page proves that, when all is said and done, he won.
