CLEARWATER, Fla. - Roy Halladay will be back in a Phillies uniform on Tuesday as he joins the team as a guest instructor for spring training.
Halladay, who retired after the 2013 season, was last a guest instructor with the Phillies in 2014. The Phillies have welcomed the services this spring of former players Mike Schmidt, Brad Lidge, Larry Andersen, Chad Durbin, Wes Helms, and Halladay’s former manager, Charlie Manuel.
Halladay, who turns 40 in May, lives near Clearwater. He coaches his son's youth baseball team and also has become an avid pilot. Halladay met Phillies pitchers Jerad Eickhoff and Nick Pivetta last month at a banquet in Clearwater.
