Charlie Hayes
Charles Dewayne Hayes (born May 29, 1965) is an American former professional baseball third baseman and former coach for the Florida Complex League Phillies. Hayes played in Major League Baseball for the San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies, New York Yankees, Colorado Rockies, Pittsburgh Pirates, Milwaukee Brewers, and Houston Astros from 1988 through 2001. He was a member of the Yankees' 1996 World Series championship team that beat the Atlanta Braves. He batted and threw right-handed.
Hayes played for the South Region champions (Hub City from Hattiesburg, Mississippi) in the first round of the 1977 Little League World Series. He attended Forrest County Agricultural High School in Brooklyn, Mississippi.
The San Francisco Giants selected Hayes in the fourth round of the 1983 Major League Baseball draft. He made his MLB debut with the Giants on September 11, 1988, where he hit .091 over seven games.
On June 18, 1989, the Giants traded Hayes with Dennis Cook and Terry Mulholland to the Philadelphia Phillies for Steve Bedrosian and a player to be named later, who turned out to be Rick Parker. On August 15, 1990, he was a decisive part of a unique baseball game. While Mulholland pitched a no-hitter (not giving up a single hit, walking, or hitting a batsman, and retired every opposing player he faced), Parker reached base on a throwing error by Hayes, spoiling an otherwise perfect game. Hayes later redeemed himself, however, by snaring Gary Carter's line drive for the final out of the 9th inning and thus preserving Mulholland's no-hitter.
Before the 1992 season, the Phillies sent Hayes to the New York Yankees to complete a trade made on January 8, 1992, in which the Phillies acquired Darrin Chapin from the Yankees for a player to be named later. He hit .257 with a career-high 100 strikeouts.
After the 1992 season, the Colorado Rockies selected Hayes from the Yankees as the third pick in the 1992 MLB expansion draft. The Yankees attempted to revoke Hayes' assignment to the Rockies, charging that the Florida Marlins were not properly compensating the Yankees for lost territory in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where the Yankees had a minor league team. The Commissioner of Baseball at the time, Bud Selig rejected the claim, and Hayes joined the Rockies.
Hayes was part of the inaugural Rockies team in 1993 and played third base during their first ever game. During the season, he compiled a career-high 45 doubles (leading the National League), 25 home runs, and 98 runs batted in. In 1994, he compiled 23 doubles and 50 runs batted in before the 1994–95 MLB strike ended the season. He was granted free agency on December 23.
Hayes signed with the Philadelphia Phillies for the 1995 season, where he hit 11 home runs and 85 RBI. He became a free agent after the 1995 season.
