Milwaukee Brewers utility legend, Bill Hall, is retiring with the Crew! Now, if you’re like me, your first thought was, “Bill Hall isn’t retired?” Nope! Sure, he hasn’t played a professional game since 2014 for an Indy team. Sure, he was also inducted into the Milwaukee Brewers’ Walk of Fame in 2014. But now, at the ripe ol’ age of 39, Hall is officially hanging up the cleats.
The Brewers selected Hall in the sixth round of the 1998 MLB First-Year Player Draft. He’d make his debut with the team in 2002. Hall would then serve as a super utility player for the team, until he’d take over at shortstop for an injured JJ Hardy in 2006. During that ‘06 season, Hall would post a superb .270/.345/.553 line with 35 homers. Most famously that season, he hit a game-winning homer on Mother’s Day. Over his eight seasons with the Crew, Hall hit .253/.312/.446 with 102 homers, which ranks 19th overall in franchise history. According to Baseball-Reference, that’s good for a 9.3 WAR. He also provided a wealth of memories. - brewcrewball.com, Sept 2019
