There were going to be tears one way or another, Brandy Halladay said.
Christopher BumbacaThere were going to be tears one way or another, Brandy Halladay said, just after she listened to MLB Commisioner Rob Manfred read the inscription on her late husband Roy's Hall of Fame plaque that was unveiled Sunday in Cooperstown, New York.
Halladay threw the second no-hitter in postseason history in 2010 while with the Philadelphia Phillies. He established himself as a tireless worker with a reputation of precision. He had a career 3.38 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with a 203-105 record across 416 games . "Anybody who thinks baseball truly isn't a family has never been involved in baseball," she said. "I know how honored Roy would be to be sitting here with such accomplished men, who have represented the game so well through all of your careers. ... This is not my speech to give. I'm going to do the best I can to say the things I believe Roy might have said or wanted to say if he was here today.
"Thank you for allowing us to grow up, to fail over and over, and finally, learn how to succeed," Brandy said.
