Mel Hall, a former Major League outfielder, was sentenced to 45 years in jail following a conviction of raping a 12-year-old and sexually abusing or inappropriately touching three girls, according to The Associated Press.
Hall, 48, was sentenced by a Tarrant County (Texas) jury on Wednesday and received 40 years for aggravated sexual assault and five years for indecency.
“A Tarrant County jury took about 90 minutes to convict the 48-year-old Hall on three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and two counts of indecency with a child,” says the Associated Press. “The sentencing phase was to resume Wednesday after two witnesses testified Tuesday afternoon. Hall faces up to life in prison.
The AP reported that Hall, who played in the Majors for four different teams from 1981-1996, must serve about 22 1/2 years in prison before becoming eligible for parole.
Maybe some of you may remember Mel Hall as a decent slugger with the Yankees back in the early ’90s. Those with good memories for home run trots may recall Hall’s as one of the longest, slowest and most asinine ever witnessed on the planet earth.
Hall's 13-year major league career ended in 1996. He hit .276 with 134 home runs and 620 RBIs in a career that included stints with the Chicago Cubs, Cleveland Indians, Yankees and San Francisco Giants. He also played four years in Japan.
