Absolutely tragic. What a loss. I hope this turns out to be a hoax report. So terrible.

Isn't this year his first year of eligibility for the Hall of Fame?

This is terrible news. We loved Halliday here in Toronto as he was a great man; the city is already in mourning.  |

Isn't this year his first year of eligibility for the Hall of Fame? 2019 along with Todd Helton, Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera. |

His death is sad... it reminds me of the death of John Denver who, like Halladay, was a small-plane enthusiast whose love of flying is what did him in. Painful!

Saw the news on my lunch hour at work. I can't even... this one's not good.
re. HOF, there'd been chatter that he was one of the finest of a new era of HOF calibre pitchers who would be acknowledged without volume 300+ wins just to get a look. 200-250 quality wins is the new 300.
Blue Jays should retire his number, & at least place him in their Level of Excellence next season.
Some ppl around here suggesting they remove Ted Rogers awful statue with one of Roy.
