He played in Major League Baseball for the Milwaukee Brewers, Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros, San Francisco Giants, and Baltimore Orioles from 2002 through 2012.

On Mother's Day 2006, with the Brewers playing the New York Mets, Hall hit a walk-off home run in the 10th inning.

Hall entered the 2008 season as the Brewers' starting third baseman, following the move of Ryan Braun to left field.

Still in the lineup, Hall expressed his disappointment on June 3, 2008, by saying that if he was not going consistently to start for the Brewers, he might want to be traded in order to play every day (he had also grown tired of the Brewers changing his field position, which they had done three seasons in a row—usually something teams avoid so that players remain comfortable in their field positions and perform at their highest potential[citation needed]).

[citation needed] In June and early July he began hitting much better, even against right-handed pitchers (including game-winning, back-to-back, go-ahead home runs against right-handed pitchers of division rival St. Louis Cardinals, in the 10th inning of the first game of the series and in the 9th inning of the second), and all but pushed Branyan back out of the starting lineup.

When asked what had changed he said that he felt that he had found his swing in early July, and had subsequently regained his confidence.

[7] Hall was subsequently recalled from Triple-A Nashville and started in right field for the Brewers on August 3, replacing an injured Corey Hart.

On August 19, Hall was traded to the Seattle Mariners for minor league pitcher Ruben Flores.

[10] On January 7, 2010, Hall was traded to the Boston Red Sox for Casey Kotchman and a minor league player to be named and cash.

"[12] Much of the Red Sox roster was plagued by injuries during the 2010 season, forcing manager Francona to constantly juggle the lineups, filling the vacancies with whoever was available.

Hall's major league pitching debut was impressive: wielding nothing but an 89 mph fastball,[13] he retired all three batters he faced.

Hall signed a minor league contract with the New York Yankees on February 7, 2012, with an invitation to spring training.

[20] On September 26, Hall's contract was purchased from the Triple-A Norfolk Tides after Randy Wolf was placed on the 60-day Disabled List.

"I was just a small town country boy with Major League dreams," said Hall in a news release.

"[24] Hall, along with former teammates J. J. Hardy, Jeff Suppan, and Chris Capuano, appeared in an episode of CBS' soap opera The Young and the Restless.

He served as a special playoff analyst on ESPN's Cold Pizza Bill Hall has three kids.
