About Roy Halladay, Hall of Famer

Roy Halladay was a dominant pitcher who spent most of his career with the Toronto Blue Jays before joining the Philadelphia Phillies in 2010, retiring after 2013. Nicknamed "Doc" by a Blue Jays announcer, Halladay earned eight All-Star selections and won Cy Young Awards in both leagues. His exceptional durability led the majors in complete games seven times—more than any pitcher whose career started after 1945—and he also topped the league in strikeout-to-walk ratio five times. With the Phillies, he pitched a perfect game and a postseason no-hitter in 2010. Halladay was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2019 on his first ballot.

Did you know? In his second career start in 1998, Halladay nearly pitched a no-hitter with two outs in the ninth inning before a pinch hitter's solo home run broke it up.
