"The Blade" made his big league debut with the Twins in 1968 and became a fixture of the pitching staff the following season. He split his fine 1969 rookie season between the rotation and the bullpen, and was a key arm on the staff of the Twins' AL Western Division championship club that year. The Twins repeated as division champs in 1970 and Hall arguably had his finest season that year (11-6 with a 2.55 ERA, four saves, and an impressive 184 strikeouts in only 155 innings). Hall pitched one more season for the Twins before he was dealt to the Cincinnati Reds. He had an immediate impact on the Big Red Machine, going 10-1 with eight saves for the 1972 National League champs.
