LA PALMA — As a youth softball player in Bobby Sox, the award that Sue Hall aspired to win the most was called the “four ships.”
“All the girls would vote on one player and it was called the four ships award,” she recalled. “It’s sportsmanship, leadership, friendship and citizenship. I always thought that was my best award.”
Kennedy’s softball program might have topped Hall’s list.
On Feb. 20 before its home game against Cerritos, Kennedy dedicated its softball field to the Hall of Fame coach, who guided the Fighting Irish to a CIF-SS title in 1998 and a section runner-up finish in 2002, her final season.
In a ceremony that attracted Hall’s family, alumni players and community leaders, Kennedy’s softball diamond became known as “Coach Sue Hall Field.”
Now living in San Diego, Hall, 62, cherished the dedication because she felt the field naming — like the Bobby Sox award — reflected on her character.
“You can’t just win,” she said, “people have to respect you.”
Hall’s career produced both.
In a coaching run that started at Woodbridge and ended at Kennedy, she won 369 games, two CIF-SS titles, earned two Orange County coach of the year awards and was voted to the Orange County softball and Southern Section Hall of Fame.
In a brief tenure at Woodbridge, Hall led the Warriors to a section title in 1987 and a runner-up finish in 1986.
She took the helm at Kennedy in 1998 and maintained a consistently successful program,
Hall attended Foothill and later played collegiately at UC Santa Barbara and Chapman.
