PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The Baseball Hall of Fame announced its 2019 ballot Monday. Phillies great Roy Halladay headlined the list of newcomers. His candidacy comes just over a year after the pitcher’s tragic death in a 2017 plane crash.
Halladay spent his final four seasons with the Phillies, tossing a perfect game in 2010, then following that up with a no-hitter in his first every postseason game. He was a two-time All Star with the Phillies, capped with a Cy Young award in 2010.

Halladay was one of the most dominant pitchers in recent baseball history and seems to be a lock to be enshrined at some point, with a case to be made for a first-ballot induction.
