Roy Halladay became the second pitcher in MLB postseason history to throw a no-hitter after he blanked the Cincinnati Reds 4-0 Wednesday night.
The performance serves as an exclamation mark on a great season with the Philadelphia Phillies, and an even greater career.
Halladay, 33, debuted as a 21-year old fireballer for the Toronto Blue Jays in 1998. However, he doesn’t rely on his velocity to beat hitters anymore, so he could have several more stellar seasons left in him.
It’s performances like the one last night that elevates players from greatness to immortality. So the question beckons—is Halladay a Hall-of-Famer?
