"Toby Jason Hall" is a former Major League Baseball catcher.

Hall attended El Dorado High School (Placerville, California)/El Dorado High School in Placerville, California where he earned All-State honors. The first time he played catcher was in his sophomore year at American River College. Then while in college he was an All-American at University of Nevada, Las Vegas/UNLV.

On Mother's Day (United States)/Mother's Day, May 14, 2006, Hall was one of more than 50 hitters who brandished a pink bat to benefit the Breast Cancer Foundation.

In May 2005, Toby Hall sponsored a Make a Wish for Chase Troche.

Hall has a tendency to dye his soul patch different colors to mark specific occasions. For example, during a 12-game winning streak in 2004, he dyed his soul patch platinum blonde. On June 24, 2006, Hall dyed his soul patch red to mark "turn back the clock night", where the Tampa Bay Devil Rays/Devil Rays wore throwback uniforms for the Tampa Tarpons, a Reds minor-league affiliate.

On June 27, 2006, Hall, along with Mark Hendrickson were traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers for pitcher Jae Seo, catcher Dioner Navarro, and outfielder Justin Ruggiano.

The way we went about the second half is just great. But still, if you look at the big picture, we're not there. Even though we've won these games, we're not where these other teams are.

You block, tuck and hope for the best.

I'm obviously thankful for the opportunity they gave me, ... [But] this is the route we need to take. It's professional.
