Who is Albert Hall?

Albert Hall is an American former professional baseball player who played the majority of his Major League career for the Atlanta Braves. Hall appeared in a total of 375 games played in the National League between 1981–1989, and 355 of those were as a member of the Braves. He added twenty games to his MLB résumé at the end of his career with the 1989 Pittsburgh Pirates.

He was selected by the Braves in the sixth round of the 1977 Major League Baseball Draft out of Birmingham's Jones Valley High School. After spending his first two professional seasons in Rookie ball, Hall quickly developed a reputation as a prolific base stealer in minor league baseball. In successive seasons, he stole 66, 100, 60 and 62 bases at progressively higher levels of the Braves' farm system. Then, in 1986, he stole 72 bases for the Triple-A Richmond Braves.

Hall spent only two full seasons, 1984 and 1987, in Major League Baseball.
