Career
In a 14-season career, Hayes posted a .262 batting average with 144 home runs and 740 RBI in 1547 games played.
He caught the final out of the New York Yankees' 1996 World Series victory. On August 15, 1990, he was a decisive part of a unique baseball game. While Terry Mulholland pitched a no hitter, not giving up a single hit, walking, or hitting a batsman, and retired every opposing player he faced, the Giants' Rick 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 preserved Mulholland's gem.
Post-playing career
Charlie currently gives baseball lessons and operates a team along with a facility for the instruction of baseball, called "Big League Baseball Academy" in Tomball, Texas. His son, Tyree, is a pitcher in the Tampa Bay Rays organization.
