Hall of a Day

That's what Somerset Patriots outfielder Noah Hall had Friday. He got two hits in four at-bats in his Atlantic League debut and then got signed by the New York Yankees hours later.
Hall will report to Double-A Trenton in time for Sunday's game.
The Yankees are his sixth team in the past six seasons, but it is a mystery why Hall has no staying power.
He is a career .286 hitter with speed and power in the minors.
He went to major-league spring training with the Yanks in 2005, but got cut.
He probably won't reach the majors in this organization, but maybe he can catch some other team's eyes. He deserves the proverbial cup of coffee at least.
More importantly, he is a dead ringer -- with both his appearance and the laid back tone in his voice -- for former Patriots great Emiliano Escandon.
Hall leaves the Atlantic League as a career .500 hitter.
