[edit] Biography

Jerry Hairston (Jerry Wayne Hairston, Jr.) was born on May 29, 1976 in Naperville, Illinois. He made his Major League debut on September 11, 1998 for the Baltimore Orioles. In 1999, his rookie year, he hit .269 with 4 home runs and 17 RBI. Hairston played for the Baltimore Orioles, Chicago Cubs and Texas Rangers over the course of his 9 year career.

Most people believe that Jerry Hairston's best season was 2001, when he stole 29 bases.

Hairston Jr. was also one of the players named in baseball's Mitchell Report. According to the report, Hairston was referred to former Mets clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski by teammate David Segui. Radomski alleges that he sold HGH to Hairston two or three times between 2003 and 2004, and managed to produce a check from Hairston for $600. Radomski claimed that the check was for half a kit of HGH, and that Hairston actually underpaid him by $200. Hairston has categorically denied using performance-enhancing drugs, saying that "Not one time have I taken steroids or anything like that. I would never do anything like that to jeopardize my career." Despite an invitation, Hairston declined to speak with investigators for the Mitchell Report.
