Hairston comes from the biggest Major League Baseball family. He is the brother of Jerry Hairston, Jr., the son of Jerry Hairston, Sr., the nephew of Johnny Hairston, and the grandson of Sammy Hairston, a former Negro Leaguer who later became one of the first black players in Chicago White Sox history. The five Hairstons that have played in the majors set a record. Two other three-generation MLB families have four members each: the Boone family (Ray, Bob, Bret and Aaron) and the Bell family (Gus, Buddy, David, and Mike). Hairston is of Mexican descent on his mother's side. He and his wife, Jill, and sons, Landon (1/13/06) and Dallas (7/9/07), reside in Gilbert, Arizona.
