This is why Roy Halladay had to leave. The Greatest Blue Jay Starting Pitcher of All-Time has been my man crush for some time. Hell, I once wrote that I heart the guy. But when he left for the Phillies, we all knew why...
Roy needed to pitch in October, henceforth to be referred to as Doctober. Roy Halladay belongs on a playoff team, pitching on the biggest stage. In his playoff debut, he pitched a no-no. I don't know about you, but I was on my feet for that entire 9th inning, full of hope and pride. Only the second no-hitter in playoff history, it was thrown by my boy Roy.
Well done, Roy. It couldn't have happened to a more deserving player. The Hall of Fame is now, officially, a guarantee.
