Roy Halladay, the late, great Blue Jays pitcher who was affectionately known as “Doc” throughout most of his career, has been elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame after receiving 85.4% of votes, the Hall confirmed.
Halladay will be joined by Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, Mariners designated hitter Edgar Martinez and Orioles/Yankees starter Mike Mussina in this year’s induction class.
Halladay, who was born in 1977, was drafted by the Blue Jays in the first round of the 1995 draft. In 16 major league seasons, he pitched in over 400 games, racked up over 200 wins and boasted a career ERA of 3.
