Roy Halladay pitched for the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies from 1998 through 2013.
After he retired, one of the things he got into was flying small planes. There are photos of his plane and of him in a cockpit on his Twitter account.
Tuesday afternoon, a small plane owned by Halladay crashed into the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Pasco County, and Halladay was killed, confirmed by the Pasco County Sheriff:
We are deeply saddened by the loss of this amazing and generous individual.
