Former MLB pitcher Roy Halladay was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday. Shortly after the announcement, his wife Brandy released a statement thanking the writers for the "overwhelming percentage of votes" that her husband received in his first year on the ballot.
"Being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame is every boy's dream," she wrote. "To stand on that stage in Cooperstown and deliver your acceptance speech in front of baseball's most enthusiastic fans is something that every baseball player aspires to achieve, and Roy was no exception. But that was not Roy's goal.
