When tragedy strikes in the sports world, everything beyond remembering the person and character of the deceased can feel trivial.
In the case of Roy Halladay's death, the sentiments of his former teammates, friends and baseball family put the career of the late-40-year-old-ace into perspective: Great pitcher, even better person.
Over the next year-plus, Halladay's name will be remembered and revered--then instantly thrown into one of sports' oddly-heated debates: Hall of Fame discussion. The former Blue Jays and Phillies great is eligible for induction in 2019--or the ballot that goes out to voters just about a year from now.
