Roy hallady r.i.p

[rjackson44]

Died in his own plane so sad .it was his passion.espn reporting now ,,

[h2oya311]

just saw this pop up on my screen. Another person my age dying way too young. RIP Doc!

[barrysloate]

Just went to youtube and re-watched his perfect game, in his memory. What horrible news!

I realize given how many famous people there are that it's going to be pretty frequent to hear that one of them has just died, but this one strikes me as particularly surprising, even independent of how young he was.

He was probably going to be in on the first ballot anyway. I wonder now if he'll be the first to get 100% of the vote.

RIP Roy...what a great pitcher you were...and that was some plane too!

Um, Halladay will not get 100% of the HOF vote. If Junior and Maddux didn't, then Halladay sure won't. He had some great seasons over the course of a decade, but with only 203 wins, I'm doubtful that he'll make it in on the first ballot.

It would be tacky of me to try to profit from his death, but how about I apologize to you if I'm wrong about his first ballot election, and you apologize to me when you're wrong?

[darwinbulldog]

P.S. He was better than Nolan Ryan.

David, if you're still out there...

[KingFisk]

One of the best I ever saw. Loved to watch he and Ruiz work together. So sad.

Great pitcher, very sad to hear...

He's a first ballot HOFer in my book. A real throwback who wanted to stay on the mound and complete games when it just didn't happen anymore.

RIP

RIP Roy. He stopped to sign for me and my dad at Spring Training while he was on the Blue Jays and seemed like a really nice guy.

I think he's a no doubt HOFer. At the time he was only the 5th pitcher to win a Cy Young in both leagues and with the exception of Clemens the other 3 guys are Hall of Famers.

[1952boyntoncollector]

I saw his perfect game against the Marlins


There will be a lawsuit against the airplane Icon manufacturer....i thought those planes come with a complete parachute or something. We will get the details in litigation

[Exhibitman]

Terrible news; from all accounts a very nice man as well as a great player.

OK, fess up: who got on eBay and bought a RC or signed card?

I did...

Yes, I am a ghoul...

[HOF Auto Rookies]

Could we please start a new thread about Roy vs Pettitte vs Ryan? This is getting ridiculous.

A man lost his life leaving behind a wife and two young boys yet all ppl care about is where he ranks in xxx list and if he will be a first ballot HoF'er. SMDH.
