JW's were mentioned twice in SI last week.
1. it had a piece on Hairston and Eagles guard Jermaine Mayberry. Mayberry had read in SI a few years ago that Hairston was a JW and so he called Hairston to ask him about it. So I guess Hairston studied with Mayberry and now Mayberry is a Witness too.
2. Rick Reilly compared the way barry Bonds treats his teammates to the way people treat JW's at the door. Haha!!
#27, really? thats pretty cool, i know other people told me he was a witness, but I had never seen any proof until you now...thats pretty cool that your nephew actually talked to him about being a witness.
hehe i guess its ok. Someone who used to be on the Pistons became one too.
who cares. stats are stats. anyway, does anyone have an article about hairston? i heard from a few people that hes a witness but ive never seen any quotes of him saying it or articles.
he is a witness. My nephew is one too and met him in person.
Hairston Jr?
yeah my neph went to a game with a brother who knows him from around here and it was last year interleague play between baltimore and pittsburgh and my nephew met both Salomon Torress and Jerry at the game. He said they were both witnesses and hairston supposedly has some in depth discussions with the rest of his team, so like next year at the memorial maybe Raphael Palmeiro and Miguel Tejada will attend LOL
These are chet lemons all time stats

He was a real good ball player but not a superstar kinda like Hideki matsui
Here are lou whitakers stats
http://www.baseball-reference.com/w/whitalo01.shtml
Lou was a great player too better then chet take alook at the stats, but hell probaly makle into the hall on the veterans committe
I think alan trammel should be in the hall of fame personally, he was a six time all star and he was the best at his time in the american league. He was better offensive threat then ozzie was.
Here are alans stats below

All these guys had at least three all star apperaences
I think lou probaly witnesses to trammel
ok you deserve a stupid mod for using such a poor website for baseball stats. What was wrong with ESPN or MLB or even Yahoo? No offense. Just those are real sloppy
The funniest thing is you think I care and all i did was go to google and it came up.
well i mean did you have to use such a ghetto source?
It was good enough
Yeha your point was made so what difference does it make where he got it from? lol
the difference is that if you are gonna get a website don't get one that looks like its from the year 1985.
It's not 1985?
the funny thing is, as we look at the stats we can see he was an average baseball player but for the time period he was in, his stats were akin to a power hitter...
i don't know if i'd say he was a star....
well he was pretty good back in the 80's.
There is a big difference between pretty good and being a star player.
haha well detroit come on LOL
I think there is another former Tiger who is a witness as well. I forget his name but he played with Trammel. I'm pretty sure someone posted it here when preseason was starting. There was an interview with him on ESPN.com and he mentioned it.
haha it was probably chet lemon. Salomon Torres and Jerry Hairston jr. are as well.
No, it wasn't Lemon. It was Lou Whitaker, here's the article, I finally found it:

Actually It was both
Hey actually i was told it was both i could be wrong.
salomon torres was then quit the game because of it and now he is back so i'm suspicious..
I've always heard Willie Randolph was too but I was never able to confirm it.
