The Hall of Fame season was a bittersweet one for Blue Jays fans in 2019, as the late Roy Halladay was inducted on his first year on the ballot. It was a true shame that he couldn’t be there to enjoy the moment for himself, but it was a wonderful celebration for Blue Jays fans, and it was great to see his family honoured.
Looking forward, it’s hard to say when the next former Blue Jay could follow Halladay’s footsteps into the Hall of Fame, and this year’s ballot featured four players who once played in Toronto. With just Derek Jeter and Larry Walker being elected this year, none of those former Jays made it this time around, and it’s hard to say whether any of them ever will.
