Late Hall of Fame RHP Roy Halladay will forever be in the hearts of the Philadelphia Phillies family, given his contributions on and off the field throughout his successful four seasons in red pinstripes.
Now, his number will be forever remembered as well. On Tuesday, the Phillies announced that they will retire No. 34 in honor of the right-hander on the 10th anniversary of his perfect game, the 20th in MLB history.
“Roy Halladay made an indelible mark on Phillies history with so many spectacular moments, including his perfect game and postseason no-hitter,” said Phillies Executive Vice President David Buck.
