Roy Halladay will be inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday, becoming the second Coloradan to enter Cooperstown after reliever Goose Gossage.

Halladay, a two-time Cy Young Award winner who played at Arvada West High School, enters the Hall of Fame alongside fellow inductees Mariano Rivera, Edgar Martinez, and Mike Mussina. Halladay led Arvada West to a state title in 1993, and was drafted in the first round (No. 17 overall) in 1995 by the Blue Jays.

A 16-year big-league veteran, Halladay died in November 2017 at age 40 in the crash of a plane he was piloting.
