Roy Halladay’s father carries his own memories, thoughts and feelings about his late son, Roy, who became a Hall of Fame pitcher. They don’t square with the portrait being presented in public.
“I don’t think people realize what kind of quality individual he was and how he wanted to do the right thing,” “Big Roy” said Thursday. “They talk about all of these things that went south in his life, but I think a lot of that had been amplified.”
Friday night, the celebrated, complicated and tragic story of the pitcher’s life and death will be chronicled in “Imperfect: The Roy Halladay Story,” part of ESPN’s E:60 documentary series.
