Halladay's family: No team logo on HOF plaque
Roy Halladay's widow says the pitcher's Hall of Fame plaque will not include a Toronto Blue Jays or a Philadelphia Phillies logo on the cap. "He was a Major League Baseball player and that's how we want him to be remembered," Brandy Halladay told Sportsnet on Wednesday, the day after "Doc" was voted into Cooperstown's Class of 2019 in his first year of eligibility.
NBC Sports Philadelphia said the family made the decision out of respect to Toronto and Philadelphia, "two cities he loved." Halladay, who died in a plane crash in 2017 at age 40, played 12 seasons with the Blue Jays (1998-2009) and four seasons with the Phillies (2010-13). He won a Cy Young Award with each team.
