While audiences are used to only hearing the first part of the song performed at sporting events, the actress delivered three of the complete Star-Spangled Banner's four verses. Videographers caught fans' reactions to the never-ending anthem.

Hall was unable to perform the song in its entirety due to strict time constraints on pitcher warmups, which limited her to four minutes.

Hall has also appeared on Broadway in Tarzan, Dracula, 42nd Street and Cats. Her other stage work includes The Toxic Avenger, Rooms (New World Stages), Radiant Baby (Public Theater), Empire (Spiegelworld), Prometheus Bound (A.R.T.), The Last Goodbye (Williamstown) and Bedbugs!!! (NYMF Outstanding Actor Award).
