Biography

Al Hall was a professional baseball player who played as a position player during the late 19th century, specifically from 1879 to 1880. He participated in 70 games throughout his brief career, showcasing a solid batting average of .255. Hall recorded a total of 80 hits and drove in 14 runs, contributing to his team's offensive efforts, although he did not hit any home runs or steal any bases during his time in the league.
