[edit] Biographical Information

Jackie Hayes was a Brooklyn boy who played for six different major league teams in seven seasons, mostly at catcher and in center field.

He showed good power on occasion, hitting 4 homers as a rookie (good for second on the team behind Harry Stovey), and 3 homers in 1886 in only 26 games (good for second on the team behind Paul Hines).

The SABR biography of Hugh Daily states that Hayes in 1880 played for an independent team in Baltimore and in 1881 played for an independent team in New York City. Both were competitive teams with some big stars.

He is not to be confused with the other Jackie Hayes, who played from 1927-40 as an infielder in the American League.
