Roy Halladay was officially enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame Sunday and his induction was punctuated by an emotional speech from his widow, Brandy Halladay.
On behalf of her late husband, Brandy was able to strike a chord with the audience at the ceremony and many on the internet with her touching words.
Halladay, died on Nov. 7, 2017, in a plane crash off Florida’s Gulf of Mexico, who began his career with the Blue Jays before being the part of Phillies.
There was also a tribute video at the induction and videos from both teams Roy played for.
“Doc wanted the biggest stage all the time, and wasn’t afraid of it.”
