Disgruntled Leafs Fan,
From 10 News:
One person was killed Tuesday after a plane registered to eight-time All-Star and two-time Cy Young award winner Roy Halladay crashed into the Gulf of Mexico.
It was not immediately known if Halladay was flying the plane.
Obviously there is now a great deal of concern regarding Halladay himself, but we aren't able to conform anything either positive or negative at this time. Stay tuned for updates on this story.
UPDATE: Former Major League star pitcher Roy Halladay has died after his plane crashed into the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Pasco, Fla., on Tuesday. He was 40.
Nicknamed “Doc”, Halladay played 16 seasons in the majors with the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies.
He began his career with the Jays after Toronto selected him with the 17th pick of the 1995 MLB Amateur Draft.
After a breakout season in 2002 where he finished with a 19-7 record, Halladay made his mark in 2003 when he led the American League with 22 wins and a 3.25 ERA on his way to capturing the Cy Young Award.
Despite the Jays' struggles in the standings, Halladay remained among the league leaders in wins during his time in Toronto, including another 20-win season in 2008. In 12 years with the Blue Jays, he amassed a 148-76 record with a 3.43 ERA.
The Denver, Colo., native joined the Phillies in 2009 in a trade for Travis d'Arnaud, Kyle Drabek and Michael Taylor. He made an immediate impact with his new team, winning 21 games in 2010 and throwing the 20th perfect game in Major League history on May 29, 2010 against the Florida Marlins.
Halladay won his second Cy Young in his first season in Philadelphia.
On Oct. 6, 2010, in his first career playoff start, Halladay became just the second pitcher in Major League history to throw a postseason no-hitter when he blanked the Cincinnati Reds in the NLDS.
His final career numbers were 203-105 with a 3.38 ERA, with 2,117 strikeouts and 67 complete games before his retirement in 2013.
