Even though I'm a diehard Tigers fan RIP Roy and thank you for the 16 years worth of memories. You were truly one of the good ones.

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.

R.I.P. Doc

I wasn't a Jays fan when Roy Halladay was on the mound but have been listening as tributes have been pouring in all morning. From what I've been hearing Mr Halladay was an exceptional person and an outstanding player. My condolences to his family, friends and fans. RIP Roy.

Sad that he didn't realize that aerobatics in a plane he just bought and wasn't the least bit familiar with could have tragic consequences for the wife and two children he left behind.

Very sad.

Too true, he had the plane for less than one month......

$1:

Halladay, the 40-year-old former Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies pitcher, had been the proud owner for less than a month of his ICON A5 and was among the first to fly it, with only about 20 in existence, according to the website for ICON Aviation.

The man who led the plane's design, 55-year-old John Murray Karkow, died while flying an A5 over California's Lake Berryessa on May 8, in a crash the National Transportation Safety Board blamed on pilot error. The NTSB also will investigate Halladay's crash to determine the cause.
