Roy Halladay, 40, dies in plane crash in Gulf of Mexico

 

Roy Halladay, a two-time Cy Young Award-winning pitcher who retired from baseball nearly four years ago, has died in a plane crash in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida. He was 40 years old.

Wow.

He was a great pitcher, and only 40 with his bank account likely stuffed enough for four lifetimes of good times.

A sad thing.

On it goes.

Sad

RIP 

Wow that sucks, but he loved to fly & chose his fate, I respect that (the owners of the company that built his plane died in a plane crash flying the same model of plane).  Too bad he didn't get a WS title w/the Phils (in both '10 & '11 they ran into the buzzsaw of teams that got hot in Sept & made the wild card the last day of the season - Giants in 10, St Louis in '11).  One of the better recent memories I have with my Dad (before he became a Trump bot & Disowned me for being a State Employee Communist) was listening to that perfect game on an old am radio with him as I happened to be visiting him that day.  My Dad was a huge baseball guy, almost made the majors, played for the Cincinnati organization.

 

The Giants won their division in 2010.
