Personal: Born on 8/3/88 in The Ville to Richard and Paula Haynes. Is the youngest of four children. Has not decided on a major yet, but would like to be an Collegiate Athletic Director or General Manager of a professional team. Wears number one because Ozzie Smith is one of his favorite athletes along with David Eckstein. His greatest influence on him athletically has been his older brother Nick, that taught him how to play baseball at a very young age. Zoolander and Bull Durham are his favorite movies and he likes to watch Family Guy and SportsCenter on TV. Steak and hamburgers are his favorite food and he likes to dine at Ruby Tuesday's and Outback. Honey Nut Cheerios are his top cereal and Snickers is his favorite candy bar. Likes to listen to Jason Mraz and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Not many people know, but he can do a backflip. He hopes the St. Louis Cardinals, Colts and Pacers win, and he would like to dine with Eckstein, Will Ferrell and Jessica Alba. Faced Jarrod Parker, the best athlete he has ever faced and the 9th overall pick in the MLB draft, when he was on a summer ball travel team.
