Early life and career
The son of reporter Smith B. Hall and actress Mary Hall, he entered journalism in November 1919 after being discharged from the United States Navy. Hall worked for several newspapers in the Twin Cities area, including the Minneapolis Tribune, the Minneapolis Star, and the Saint Paul Pioneer Press. He later did radio broadcasts for Minneapolis Millers and Minnesota Twins baseball and Minnesota Golden Gophers football. Hall originated "Holy cow!" as a home run call on WCCO radio long before Harry Caray used it.
Hall's great-uncle, Harlan P. Hall, was a co-founder of the Pioneer Press.
The Halsey Hall Chapter of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, maintains a biographical sketch of Halsey Hall.
