Mel Hall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Melvin Hall Jr. (born September 16, 1960 in Lyons, New York) was a Major League Baseball player from 1981 to 1996 for the Chicago Cubs, Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees, and San Francisco Giants. He mostly played as an outfielder.
Hall earned the nickname "Mel from Hell" by constantly pestering and harassing Bernie Williams. Hall taped "Mr. Zero" to the top of Williams' locker to signify that he meant nothing to the team. One day Hall nearly brought Williams to tears by saying, "Zero, shut up," every time Williams tried to speak. The more Williams tried, the louder Hall interrupted with repetitive chants of "Zero." Williams went on to win four championships, while Hall won zero.
Hall now (March 2006) coaches girl's fastpitch softball in Dallas, Texas. He has organized the Wicked Softball Organization for 16 and 18U softball.
