Blue Jays great Roy Halladay killed in small plane crash
Roy Halladay, one of the best pitchers to wear a Toronto Blue Jays uniform,
was killed Tuesday when his small plane crashed in the Gulf of Mexico. He was
40.
The sheriff's department in Pasco County, Fla., confirmed Halladay's body was
found at the scene of the crash.
Halladay, nicknamed Doc, was with the Jays from 1998-2009, winning 148 games
and the 2003 Cy Young Award as the American League's best pitcher. He won the
National League Cy Young Award in 2010 after being traded to the Philadelphia
Phillies in December, 2009.
This past June he was inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.
Halladay is survived by his wife, Brandy, and two children.
After retiring from baseball following the 2013 season, Halladay pursued his
childhood dream of becoming a pilot.
"I've been dreaming about flying since I was boy but was only able to become
a pilot once I retired from baseball," Halladay told Jaysjournal.com recently.
Halladay born May 14, 1977, in Denver, Colo., made his home in Florida, not
far from the Blue Jays' spring training complex in Dunedin.
Halladay was drafted by the Jays in the first round (17th overall) of the
1995 Major League Baseball amateur draft as an 18-year-old, making his first
appearance with the big club three years later, pitching 14 innings and
earning one win.
After struggling early in his career, Halladay emerged as one of baseball's
best pitchers in 2002 when he won 19 games, earning his first of eight
all-star berths. The following year he won a career-best 22 games and his
first Cy Young Award.
However, the team's success didn't not match up with Halladay's and the team
never qualified for the post-season. It took the trade to Phillies for him to
see the playoffs, and it was in 2010 that Halladay had his greatest moments
on the field.
On May 29 of that season he pitched a perfect game against the Marlins, and
then five months later, against the Cincinnati Reds in the NLDS, Halladay
pitched just the second no-hitter in MLB playoff history.
