Sticking with 1984 Donruss, here’s Jerry Hairston (Sr.), father of current major leaguers Jerry Hairston, Jr. and Scott Hairston, both of the San Diego Padres. Hairston’s brother, John Hairston, played in 3 games for the Chicago Cubs in 1969, and Hairston’s father, Sam Hairston, got into four games as a 31 year old rookie for the Chicago White Sox in 1951. Sam Hairston’s career batting line (7 plate appearances): .400/.571./.600 (220 OPS+).
Do the Hairstons hold the title for most family members to play in the major leagues? The Alou family was much more accomplished, but there were only 4 of them. Ditto for the Boone family.
