The Blue Jays will retire Roy Halladay's No. 32 in an Opening Day ceremony to honour the late franchise icon, the team announced Monday. Toronto will also wear a commemorative No. 32 patch on its uniforms for the 2018 season.
Halladay, who pitched his first 12 Major League seasons in Toronto and won the 2003 American League Cy Young Award, will become just the second Blue Jay to have his number retired by the franchise, along with Hall of Famer Roberto Alomar and his No. 12.
Halladay died Nov. 7, crashing the ICON A5 light sport aircraft he was piloting into the Gulf of Mexico.
