Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be writing this sentence in 2017, but our beloved Blue Jays’ legend, Roy Halladay, has passed away at the age of 40 years old.
As we learned earlier on Tuesday afternoon, a plane owned by Halladay and his family was discovered to have crashed off of the Gulf of Mexico, and for roughly an hour fans waited with clasped hands hoping that the former star pitcher was not aboard that plane. At approximately 4:15, the Sheriff’s county office confirmed that the occupant was indeed Halladay, and that he had perished in the crash.
