Halladay's son dons Maple Leaf in father's honor

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Braden Halladay was watching his father, Roy, get inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame last summer when the idea first crossed his mind. Braden saw the red and white. He saw what his father meant to an entire nation, how proud his family was of their time north of the border. He started thinking about what it would be like to wear the Maple Leaf.

Braden spent most of his life in the United States, but he was born in Toronto and considers himself a dual-citizen, even if the 16-year-old isn't quite sure he has the paperwork to prove it.
