Tuesday’s announcement that Roy Halladay would be inducted into the Hall of Fame was a celebration for the late player’s career, for the family he left behind, and for the many fans that remember and adore his great baseball legacy.
It’s about all of those things and more, but what we learned on Wednesday was that it’s not about the Toronto Blue Jays or the Philadelphia Phillies, and that’s okay.
After the announcement of Halladay’s induction, the Blue Jay faithful was understandably thrilled that they would have a second repsentative in the Hall, and someone to join Roberto Alomar by wearing a Blue Jays hat on his plaque.
