Gonna wear his jersey tonight and drink heavily and watch YouTube videos of his perfect game and no hitter

My very first tweet was about his perfect game. In fact, it remained my only tweet for years. It's pretty crazy the impression he left on this organization and city despite only being with the team such a short time.

Wow. About a month and a half ago I took my son to meet Roy. Roy was so personable, did everything he could to make the brief 5 to 10 minute encounter. I got to tell Roy thank you for the perfect game, which I was at. It happened right after the death of my mom, and was exactly what I needed at the time.

That’s small potatoes considering a wife just lost her husband and kids just lost their father who retired as I understand it in part to spend more time with them.

That perfect game came at a difficult time in my life; as stupid as it sounds I remember thinking he did it for me. Bless you doc

Really sad and shocked. Been away from the internet for several hours and returned to this.

Went to a movie today stopped to get pizza to take Home for dinner and looked up at the tv when I was paying and saw this, completely knocked me sideways. What the hell man.

Absolutely heartbreaking news. RIP Doc.

Fuck.

Saw the news first in the dead thread on HWGA and thought it was a weird joke

A helluva man. That's the finest complement I know. It certainly fits.

by **Carbon** » Tue Nov 07, 2017 18:11:35

Literally gasped when I saw the headline on CBSsports. Just really bummed, don't know what else to say.

I can’t believe it. Hardest working pitcher I think we’ve ever seen, and more importantly seemed like a genuinely great guy off the field. Other than WFC, the perfect game vs. Florida and the no-hitter in the Playoffs might be my favorite moments in franchise history. RIP Doc.

I had to get off Twitter because people are posting pics of Halladay hugging Chooch. I can't handle that right now.

In shock over the terrible news about Roy Halladay... a pitcher I grew up admiring & rooting for. Praying for his family & friends. #RIPDoc- Mike Trout
