Is Roy Halladay a Hall of Famer?

Roy Halladay III was an American professional baseball pitcher who played for the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1998 to 2013.

On January 22, 2019, Halladay was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, becoming the first posthumously elected player since Deacon White in 2013 and the first elected by the BBWAA since Roberto Clemente in 1973.

Halladay was inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 2017 and the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum on January 22, 2019, both in his first year of eligibility, with 85.41% of the vote.

Roy Halladay, an eight-time All-Star, was one of the most dominant pitchers of his era. He was known for his exceptional durability, and he led the league in complete games seven times, the most of any pitcher who began his career after 1945. He also five times led the league in strikeout-to-walk ratio and innings pitched.

On what would have been Halladay’s 44th birthday, May 14, 2021, the Jays Care Foundation announced the naming of Toronto’s first accessible baseball diamond as Roy Halladay Field.
