Naperville Native Hairston's Veteran Savvy a Boost to Brewers' World Series Run
The senior active member of Naperville's all-time baseball first family is once again a handy man in the right place for a team dreaming big postseason dreams.
While two platoons of idled baseball superstars are on the golf course now, outwardly enjoying the off-season, Naperville native Jerry Hairston, Jr. – the man for all positions on seemingly all teams – is smack dab in the middle of the Milwaukee Brewers’ World Series push. And don’t think the well-heeled big names wouldn’t trade places with Hairston. Scion of the most prolific baseball family in big-league history, the 35-year-old Hairston’s jack-of-all-trades ability, having played all over the diamond except at catcher since he broke in with the Baltimore Orioles in 1998, has made him valuable to contenders down the stretch. The New York Yankees acquired him in mid-season 2009 from the Cincinnati Reds. Hairston logged 45 games’ service …

While performing in the postseason for the Milwaukee Brewers, Jerry Hairston, Jr. is simply continuing the family baseball business that is going three generations strong.
None of the baseball playing Hairstons ever set any records except one that has everything to do with their close-knit family. A total of five Hairstons over three generations have played in the majors, besting the three-generation Bell and Boone families by one. Jerry, Jr. and Scott Hairston, who cut their baseball teeth playing in Naperville, are the second consecutive generational pair in the family to get to “the show.” Patriarch of the family was Sam Hairston, a Mississippi native and Negro Leagues catcher, who became the first African-American player on the White Sox on July 21, 1951. Sam Hairston did not break the team’s color line, though. The irrepressible Minnie Minoso, a black Cuban who still works for the Sox as a team “…
