Blue Jays trainer George Poulis and right-hander Chris Carpenter were among those who took the stage to share their stories of the beloved man who tragically passed away in a plane crash on Nov. 7. J.P. Ricciardi, who was the GM for eight of Halladay's 12 years in Toronto, spoke as well and shared an open letter he wrote to the father of Braden and Ryan, husband of Brandy.
"I can write forever about your baseball exploits, about your amazing work ethic, and your fierce competitiveness, your meticulous preparedness," an emotional Ricciardi said from the podium.
