Tom Hall enjoyed ten seasons at the Major League level with four different teams. Hall made his big league debut with the Twins in 1968. Hall established himself as a reliever and spot starter, but he had his best years after he was traded to the Reds for Wayne Granger in 1972. That year, Hall pitched to a 10-1 record with 8 saves and a 2.61 ERA. Hall followed his performance the next year with an 8-5 record with 8 saves and a 3.47 ERA. In 1975, Hall pitched in two games before he was traded to the Mets for Mac Scarce. Hall would be traded again to Kansas City the following year and help the Royals to their first divisional crown.
About This Card
Hall received his nickname "The Blade" for his six-foot 150-pound stature.
yep, loved "The Blade" when he pitched for the Twins.
ReplyDeleteTom Hall was the starting pitcher for the first major league game I saw, winning a 5-2 decision over the KC Royals July 2, 1970.
ReplyDeleteGood pitcher and bad trade for the Twins.
I don't know who else to ask. Any idea why people are bidding $150 for this car on ebay right now? It's graded PSA 10, but...this card? And, the auction doesn't end for 4 hours. What am I missing?
