Roy Halladay Dies in Plane Crash

Today, November 11, 2017, former Major League pitcher Roy Halladay was killed in a plane crash at age 40. The former Blue Jays and Phillies pitcher went 203-105 in his 16 year career. Pitching a perfect game and a no hitter in the season, Halladay was a solid pitcher. His durability was known throughout baseball as he led the league in innings pitched four different times. Part of a select few with a Cy Young title in both leagues, Halladay was a franchise pitcher for both of his team. He last played in MLB in 2013. Halladay also is known to gamers as the coverboy of the iconic MLB 2K11. He was an avid flyer and would practice flying his plane in his free time. It was only him in the plane when it crashed, similar to Thurman Munson’s tragic death. Roy Halladay will forever be in our thoughts.
