Beerfish Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Ugh, was a great great pitcher for the Jays as I am a jays fan. Had some memorable years with the phillies. Always seemed like a total pro and a real good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOF pitcher, RIP Just a horse. 2 Cy Youngs. 5 other top 5 finishes. Led league in innings 4 times. ALMOST 100 games over 500 at 203-105 Great competitor great pitcher. He's a guy the metrics guys love, but the old school guys love more. He threw a lot of innings, and won a lot of games, and at the end of the day, that's what starters should do.

Gas2No99 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Roy Halladay had amphetamine, morphine in system, autopsy shows NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. -- An autopsy report says retired star pitcher Roy Halladay had evidence of amphetamine, morphine and an insomnia drug in his system when he died in a small plane crash in Florida last year. The Tampa Bay Times reported that an autopsy released Friday shows the former Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies All-Star died from blunt force trauma with drowning as a contributing factor when he crashed his personal plane into the Gulf of Mexico near New Port Richey on Nov. 7. The National Transportation Safety Board hasn't identified a cause for the crash. A witness told investigators that Halladay's ICON A5 climbed to between 300 and 500 feet before it went into a 45-degree dive and slammed into the water. The body of the two-time Cy Young Award winner was found in the wreckage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPPT1974 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 That scares me about that of flying. Small planes give me the chills. As always had a fear of flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
