After last years Pete Rose/Wall of Fame debacle the Phillies had to get this year’s class right, and they hit the nail on the head. The organization announced Tuesday afternoon they will posthomunously honor pitcher Roy Halladay by inducting him onto the Wall of Fame.
Halladay pitched for the Phillies from 2010-13 prior to retiring in 2014 with a Cy Young award and both a no-hitter and perfect game during the 2010 season. The 40-year-old passed away in a single-passenger plane crash in November off the coast of Florida.
Joining Halladay on the wall will be the general manager of the 2008 World Series club Pat Gillick.
