Roy Halladay dies in Plane Crash

[L K]

A shame that Roy won't be going into the Hall as a Blue Jay.  It seemed like everything he did and said around retirement indicated he wanted to go in with the team. 


His wife felt otherwise and the HOF Committee agreed.

Eh. The whole "what team" thing is manufactured nonsense regardless. The choice that gets made doesn't change anything about what he did and given the circumstances I'm perfectly happy with respecting his family's wishes.

Oh sure, I don't really care.  For me he goes in as a Jay based on his performance with the team.  What hat goes on his plaque matters very little.   He probably still goes into the HOF on the first ballot even if he didn't pass but without him being there to give his speech it really doesn't matter beyond that as his plaque will highlight both his time with the Jays and his performance in the playoffs with the Phillies.
