so sad - and what you said is so true

Rest in piece, Doc Halladay.

More sucky news. RIP

[Spudboy]

He was piloting a pretty trick amphibious plane that was fitted with a parachute.

 

I wonder what went wrong? The plane was a new design and already two of them have crashed.

 

Gravity rules.

Yes, it's an awful tragedy, but it also has to be said: this was death by foolishly high-risk activity.

This is stunning.

RIP, Doc.

 

He threw 63 complete games from 2002-11.

 

That was 30 more than any other pitcher in the same span.

He was an amazing pitcher, generational talent, and I always wished he could come pitch for us. This is so sad, he deserved a comfortable and long retirement.

Sad!
