Jack Hayden

John Francis Hayden (October 21, 1880 – August 3, 1942) was born in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. He put together 8 seasons in the majors, his service running from 1901 through 1908, and the Chicago Cubs of the National League stand as the club he is most identified with. His full professional career, counting minor-league campaigns, ran 13 years from 1900 to 1912. He was listed at 5'9" and 170 pounds, and he hit and threw left-handed. For collectors, his vintage cardboard footprint is anchored by an appearance in the T206 White Border set, the survey most often consulted when his image is the target. That single-issue presence narrows the chase but also keeps demand concentrated on a known card. He was 61 years of age at the time of his death. He continued in the professional game for 4 more seasons after his last big-league appearance. He was roughly 21 years old at the time of his major-league debut. He died in Haverford, Pennsylvania. He was laid to rest at St. Denis Cemetery in Havertown, Pennsylvania.
