I am happy to announce that Jack L. Hayes the author of the recently-released book, Baseball’s Finest Moments is going to contribute stories to dcbaseballhistory.com. Check back tomorrow morning to read Jack’s first story.
Here is Jack L. Hayes info on our newest contributor.
Three-time Olympic champion, Gail Devers once said, “Remember all things are possible for those who believe.”
As a fourteen-year-old teenager, Jack Hayes believed and turned his dreams into realities. In 1953 and 1954, Jack was visiting team’s batboy for the Washington Senators baseball team. Back then, there were only eight American League teams. Those teams were the Washington Senators, Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Athletics, St. Louis Browns, Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, and Cleveland Indians.
Jack’s captivating and almost unbelievable story of how he landed his batboy job and what followed is amazing! Not only was he privy to what went on behind the scenes—in the clubhouse, dugout and on the field; Jack also rubbed elbows and practiced with some of the greatest players of all times, including Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Satchel Paige, and dozens of other immortal stars. All of that and more—in an era that will go down as one of baseball’s greatest — perhaps even the greatest of all times!
While his adult career did not include baseball, Jack successfully operated his international management consulting company for three decades. He is an award-winning published author and video producer. His recently-released book, Baseball’s Finest Moments is offered on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle. Jack has also conducted numerous business-related seminars and lectures throughout the United States, Canada, South American and Europe.
Jack and his wife, Darlene, live in Central Florida.
