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.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“I can only sign over everything,
the house, the dog, the ladders, the jewels,
the soul, the family tree, the mailbox.
Then I can sleep.
Maybe.”

“We have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken. Maugre all the selfishness that chills like east winds the world, the whole human family is bathed with an element of love like a fine ether.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Realizing that his time was nearly spent, he gave full oral instructions about his burial and the manner in which he wished to be remembered.... A few minutes later, feeling very tired, he left the room, remarking, ‘I have no disposition to leave this precious circle. I love to be here surrounded by my family and friends.’ Then he gave them his blessing and said, ‘I am ready to go and I wish you goodnight.’”
