The following anonymous poem was printed in a Baton Rouge newspaper at the height of Haynes' success as an LSU player:<br>
He’s only 5’9” or 10<br>Statistics tell us all;<br>But Mr. Freddie plays to win<br>Like he is ten feet tall.<br>No man is ever measured by<br>The feet or inches part;<br>But by the spirit that the “guy”<br>Has in his fighting heart—<br>And if he isn’t tall enough<br>To touch the Moon, afar;<br>He may become, when things get rough,<br>A most outstanding star.
