Truth be told, never saw the man pitch live. Never went out of my way to watch him on TV, but was a fan simply because of an afternoon spent in the local barber shop “waiting my turn. “ When my turn came I was well into a dog eared 2010 Sports Illustrated article on a pitcher named Roy Halladay; so I passed and let the next guy go, then the next, and the next. Didn’t want to stop reading about his journey.
The relationship he had with his dad growing up is what stayed with me most. His dad, also a pilot, set up a 60’ bullpen and a batting cage in their Colorado basement for the young Roy to explore baseball and pitching. Dad provided his son with a simple gift, and the son ran with it.
Nothing else to say.

Me too on the article. 2010, waiting for the doc to see my old right shoulder.
