"Dick Hall is a Baltimore institution, like crab cakes. He is six feet six inches tall and forty years old, and he pitches with an awkward, side-wise motion that suggests a man feeling under his bed for a lost collar stud. He throws a sneaky fast ball and never, or almost never, walks batters." - The New Yorker (October 1970)

"Happy 82nd birthday to Dick Hall Sept 27 2012 from your loving kid sister Barbara"
