BIO: Joseph Walton Haynes was born in Lincolnton, GA and died in 967 in Hopkins, MN. He played major league baseball from 939 to 952 as pitcher for the Washington Senators and the Chicago White Sox, and was selected in 948 as an All-Star. As a member of the Griffith family, Haynes remained in the Washington organization after his playing career ended. He served as the club's pitching coach from 953-55, then moved into the front office as executive vice president, working with his brother-in-law Calvin Griffith in Washington and after the team moved to Minneapolis-St. Paul as the Minnesota Twins in 96.
