Growing up playing sports in Dublin, Bradford Haynes could hardly imagine the life he now leads.
At a moment’s notice, he could be kissing his wife and daughters goodbye in Macon and heading to a movie set in a far-off land. Yet, he never set out to be an actor.
This month, his career is taking him only a few miles from home to play baseball at Luther Williams Field. The role is not much of a stretch as Haynes played professional ball in farm teams for the Dodgers and Reds until he injured his quadriceps. He wound up in Japan on the roster of the Ishikawa Million Stars and played in Australia, Mexico and the Dominican Republic before he blew out his other thigh at age 28.
