2 time Cy Young winner Roy Halladay (http://www.wtsp.com/news/former-mlb-pitcher-roy-halladay-killed-in-gulf-of-mexico-plane-crash/489944976) in a plane crash, 40.
Clearly not a Philadelphia Flyer.
I'm surprised, but not shocked, to read this.

Great plane, terrible boat.
Death Takes a Halladay.
Cory Lidle and Roy Halladay were teammates in 2003. I thought for a moment that Theodore Roosevelt Lilly IV was also a 2003 Blue Jay, but he didn't slip north of the border until 2004, when Lidle was in Philadelphia. Otherwise, there's your suspect.

Incidentally, those 2003 Blue Jay teammates took took 2 of 3 from the eventual NL Central-winning Cubs that year when future-Cub and Tonker-heartthrob Reed Johnson hit a home run off Kerry Wood in the first game of the series (https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/TOR/TOR200306130.shtml)and then ended the series in Toronto's favor when he hit walkoff home run off Mark Guthrie in the rubber match on on Father' Day (https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/TOR/TOR200306150.shtml).

I actually saw Halliday pitch against the Cubs in 2005, where he was out-dueled by Sergio Meat-Tray (https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN200506080.shtml). My bleacher buddy on that day? Al Yellon.

I'm fairly certain it was my last time in the bleachers, as I came to conclude that baking in the sun while sitting in close proximity to drunken shirtless men on a concrete and steel block made much less sense than taking shelter beneath the upper deck.

Speaking of bleachers, I have attended opening day of the Oakland A's with 2 friends we and sat in the bleachers in tuxedos out of respect for the solemnity of the game. However, one of those friend's tuxedos is Kelly green, --- out of respect for the A's.

Yeah. I've been in the bleachers twice, and one of the two times was so fucking hot I cannot believe I didn't pass out. The other time was just pretty damn hot.
