Halsey Hall

Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP Halsey Louis Hall (May 23, 1898 – December 30, 1977) was a sports reporter and announcer in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area from the 1920s to 1970s.
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.[citation needed]
Hall's great-uncle, Harlan P. Hall, was a co-founder of the Pioneer Press.[citation needed]
The Halsey Hall Chapter of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, maintains a biographical sketch of Halsey Hall.[1]
